Morpeth Performing Arts Centre

Aim: Creating a theatre & community hub in Morpeth for performances, workshops & events that bring people together through the arts.

Greater Morpeth Development Trust (GMDT) is a charity dedicated to the growth and enrichment of Morpeth. For years, it has been our ambition to establish a theatre and arts hub in the town — a place that not only celebrates creativity but also strengthens our community.

Our vision is to create a vibrant, welcoming venue where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together through performance, workshops, cinema nights, and community events. This space will serve as both a cultural centre and a home for local groups, fostering connections between young people, older residents, and underrepresented communities.

To make this vision a reality, we now need your help. The next step is to raise funds to purchase and redevelop a suitable building in Morpeth. This includes:

• Conducting vital surveys to ensure the building is fit for use
• Securing the purchase
• Redeveloping the space into a fully functioning theatre

Renovations will involve reinstating the original entrance, building a stage, and installing the necessary equipment to support live performances and community events.

With your support, we can create a lasting legacy for Morpeth — a space where creativity thrives, and everyone feels at home.

Help us bring this vision to life.
