MHDS ~ Community Use of Harborough Theatre
Market Harborough Drama Society is
pleased to make Harborough Theatre available for a wide range of community
activities, many of which do not involve drama or performing arts.
Local groups, societies, and charities use the theatre lounge for meetings,
coffee mornings, fund-raising book sales, bazaars, etc. Some also use the
theatre auditorium for film shows, presentations, etc. We charge a modest fee.
(Local businesses and government agencies are charged a commercial rate - which
helps to subsidise the not-for-profit groups !)
Last season, the theatre was in use most Saturdays for coffee-mornings and
bazaars. There are many regular bookings : Tuesdays for the Age Concern
Luncheon Club, Wednesday mornings for the U3A Bridge Club, Thursday evenings
for the MHDS Bridge Club, once a month for presentations by the Decorative
& Fine Art Society, once a month for Inland Revenue Tax Clinics. In
addition, there were several once-off events, by charities, by the Local
Council, and by some local businesses.
Harborough Theatre is popular for community activities - it is in the town
centre, with level ground floor access (no steps) into a large lounge area,
with a kitchenette and servery, and a very flexible furniture layout.
Any organisation wishing to enquire about booking the Theatre should phone the
Lettings Officer. Contact details are on the 'contacts' page - just click on
the 'contacts' link at the top of the screen.
