The Roses’ Winter Chronicle 2023 Dear Friend, I hope this finds you seated by a roaring fire with a festive treat in hand. Reflecting on the past year at The Roses Theatre, it has been an incredible journey, marked by growth, innovation, and a deepening connection with our community. As we wrap up this transformative year, we are excited to share the highlights and provide a glimpse into the promising future that lies ahead. Here at The Roses, we delight in hosting a great night out! One of the most notable changes this year is the new bar and kitchen. The new design and layout have enhanced our ability to serve our guests and the space is fast becoming a social hub. In tandem we’ve created a versatile studio space and look forward to programming a diverse offer of performances, workshops, and events in 2024. These spaces are of course only made with the people who fill them, and with this in mind, this year also saw a relaunch of The Roses brand and website marking the start of a new chapter of connection and storytelling in the years to come. If you take a close look at the new logo, you’ll notice that the centre forms a house shape and we are so proud to be a home to many community groups. There’s no doubt that one of the most fulfilling aspects of the past year has been the growth of our community and youth department. We’ve seen talent blossom and confidence bloom with community groups going from strength to strength and a youth department overflowing with young people we are privileged to help on their way to great things. We’ve some incredible stories of transformation this year and look forward to many more with our plans to step into the world of creative health and wellbeing in 2024. And so, as we embark on the year ahead, on the road to The Roses’ 50th anniversary in 2025, we want to thank you for being a part of the journey. Your loyalty and enthusiasm have been instrumental in our success, and we truly cannot do it without you. Here’s to a future filled with creativity, community, and continued growth.
