What's On at The Roses | Jul - Sep 2024

Hello!

And welcome to the summer brochure at The Roses.

I couldn’t be more excited to unveil the packed line-up of live music, outdoor drama and, of course, family shows to keep your children entertained during the summer holidays. After all, what better way to create lasting summer memories than the magic of live music and entertainment alongside friends and family?

Prepare to tantalise your taste buds with our brand-new summer menu, personally vetted and tested by The Roses’ team. Trust me when I say, it’s a feast for both the eyes and the palate that you won’t want to miss!

Before we dive headfirst into the excitement of the season ahead, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who supported our Big Give Arts for Impact fundraising campaign back in March. The overwhelming generosity of our community truly touched our hearts, as we collectively raised an incredible £30,000 in just one week for Infinite Creatives. This remarkable feat is a testament to the unwavering love and support our community has for The Roses, and it reinforces the profound impact of our work that extends far beyond the confines of our stage and into the lives of those we aim to uplift.

So, as we move into the season of sun-soaked days and late nights, let’s revel in the magic of the arts, savour the delights of summer, and continue to celebrate the vibrant spirit that makes The Roses truly special.
