The winner of this year's Most Welcoming Theatre Award sponsored by theatretokens is Leeds Playhouse for their inviting, engaging, accessible and inclusive creative environment + being the first Theatre of Sanctuary for refugees + people seeking asylum #UKTAwards


It’s been almost a month since our Theatre for Change event with @CrucibleTheatre and Ramps On The Moon and we’re still buzzing from everything we learned, shared and discussed that day. Here’s a flavour of what went on – and a reminder of why Access Shouldn’t Be An Afterthought. 🎞️ 👇

Huge thank you to our amazing #MotherOfTheRevolution work-in-progress audience last night, our exceptional community choir, our brilliant cast and team and the wonders at Leeds Industrial Museum for all their support Leeds Museums & Galleries. Hopefully only the start of the revolution ✨


We're thrilled about our seed commission from Harrogate Theatre to grow (excuse the pun) our first work for families about the wildness in all of us! We're so looking forward to working with young people and artists in Yorkshire to bring this ✨magical adventure✨ to life! 🌳🍃🌸🍄
