Aim

Urgent replacement of our lighting desk has left a £4,392 gap. We’re raising funds to keep Glusburn Community & Arts Centre thriving.


Help Us Keep the Lights On at Glusburn Community & Arts Centre

We’re asking for £4,392 to cover an urgent, unexpected cost after our lighting desk failed and had to be replaced immediately at Glusburn Community & Arts Centre.

There was no warning. No time to plan. Just a vital piece of equipment failing — and a theatre that couldn’t afford to go dark. We had to act quickly to keep performances, touring acts, and community productions running safely and professionally.

Now we need your help to recover from that emergency spend.

Our theatre is at the heart of our centre. Income from shows supports our historic Victorian building and funds everything else we do — from creative workshops and classes to wellbeing activities that bring people together.

In a rural area, that matters. It reduces isolation, builds confidence, and creates real connection through shared experience.

By supporting this campaign, you’re not just covering a cost — you’re protecting a space that brings people together, supports wellbeing, and keeps culture alive in our community.

Why it matters

We’ve built a professional-standard theatre space that attracts high-quality touring acts and well-known performers. That means brilliant live entertainment right here in the village — no need to travel far.

Every ticket sold helps fund something bigger: a thriving, inclusive community space.

What your support does

Income from our events goes straight back into:

  • Maintaining our historic Victorian building
  • Creating creative opportunities for all ages
  • Supporting wellbeing through arts, music, dance, drama & fitness
  • Keeping a welcoming space for everyone

Tackling isolation. Building community.

This centre matters.

It’s where people meet, make friends, gain confidence, and feel part of something. For some, it’s a night out. For others, it’s a lifeline.

What we need

We’re raising £4,392 to cover the urgent replacement of our lighting desk and restore financial reserves after the emergency purchase.

Every donation helps us:

  • Keep performances on stage
  • Continue bringing in high-quality acts
  • Keep our community programme thriving
