The Theatregoers group offers the opportunity not only to see a variety of shows from drama, comedy, musicals, ballet etc., but to have a good day out perhaps in Leeds, Sheffield, Scarborough or York.
The group has been in existence since 2005 and many friendships have been formed during that time.
There is always room in the Theatregoers group for the princely sum of £2.00 per year and you are under no obligation to attend all of the events, just pick and choose.
If you would like to join us, please contact Convenor.
