Looking ahead, we have a rammed packed line up for you, this May to August. From comedy gold and soul stirring music to compelling drama and delightful family activities, there's something to brighten everyone's pre summer days.

A standout in our season is the acclaimed West End production, Woman In Black. This captivating show, having mesmerised over 7 million people worldwide, promises a week of unparalleled fear and suspense this May. It's an experience not to be missed. We are also thrilled to announce the return of the InterAct Youth Arts Festival. Packed with a variety of free workshops and events in house and in the community, it's a wonderful opportunity for our community's young talent to shine and explore their creativity.

Amid these exciting offerings, we also shared our significant economic impact throughout the NW and celebrated our recent accolade as Arts Organisation of the Year. We eagerly anticipate welcoming you back to our theatre for another season of extraordinary performances. It's going to be a memorable time, and we can't wait to share it with you. We're on the brink of some truly exciting developments at the Millennium Forum, as we embark on a significant auditorium refurbishment. It's all part of our preparations for a grand celebration of our 25th anniversary in 2026.
