Local Transport for events at St Nicks Arts Centre

Aim

To facilitate easy evening access from surrounding villages to the arts centre. Many of our attendees don't like to drive in the evenings

We would like to be able to provide low cost transport from surrounding villages to the arts centre.  Many attendees do not drive at night, are over 65 and some would like a drink.  We already run many activities including concerts, plays, art exhibitions, screenings from e.g. the National Theatre, Royal Opera and Royal Ballet. Over the next four months there are 21 events scheduled.

We aim to establish the Centre as a self-sustaining hub for creativity, community, and heritage — combining the preservation of an historic site with an active role in contemporary North Norfolk village life.
