Tetbury Goods Shed Come on down and take a seat! After months of fundraising, The Goods Shed’s state-of-the-art, retractable seating system has just been installed. With 180 plush, comfy seats visitors can now enjoy a performance, or two, in style at the brandnew arts centre. It’s thanks to all our seat sponsors that we’re able to provide such a crucial addition to the venue. Its versatility means the seats can be pushed back to enable us to put on art exhibitions, private events and workshops, but can easily be rolled out ready for that evening’s show. We also need to recognise the wonderful generosity of the Rotary Club of the South Cotswolds who, last month, donated £5,000 towards The Shed’s kitchen. The occasion celebrates the club’s 50th anniversary and was marked by their President, Alan Shepherd, who visited The Shed and handed over the generous check cheque.

the best of our ability. Thank you again to everyone who is giving up their time for us. This month, we welcome actor and playwright, Trevor T Smith whose show, An Evening with Dementia has been a sell out at the Edinburgh Fringe three times. It’s described as “taking its audience on an illuminating, at times funny, adventure into the wilds of the mind of an old actor who has been cut loose from society by a fading memory”. We play host to two local artists in April. Noela Bewry visits us from Stroud where she teaches at the reputable Art College there. Her work is rooted in landscape and reflects an interest in strong colour and textural effects as a means of expressing nature. And Kerry Phippen, also from Stroud, whose paintings evolve out of the unspoken connection between humans and animals. She will display a series of ink and watercolours on paper; portraying horses, deer, foxes and other four-legged beasts. We also have a number of workshops on offer, for both children and adults. Including apron making, which will mark the start of our involvement with the Select textiles Festival. More on that next month.
