Are you a fan of matinees and looking to connect with like-minded individuals to enhance your theatre experience?

Matinee Meet-Ups is your opportunity to delve deeper into the world of theatre and build connections within your community.

Meet Derwent Brass and seize the unique opportunity to try your hand at conducting! This interactive experience offers a rare chance to step into the shoes of a conductor and engage with the brass band up close. After your conducting adventure, immerse yourself in an afternoon of captivating theatre with a matinee performance of Welfare, a compelling new play by Abi Zakarian and directed by Sarah Brigham.

This poignant play explores the highs and lows of history, celebrating the enduring spirit of the camp through a rich tapestry of experiences. Expect to be enthralled by the vibrant sounds of brass bands, inspired by rousing speeches, entertained by lively performances, and delighted by a generous dose of bingo.
