Welcome to the Friends of The Arts Centre

We are delighted that you have chosen to become more closely associated with the life and times of The Arts Centre.

This year all monies raised by the Friends will go towards the Great Hall Restoration Fund universally acknowledged as The Arts Centre’s jewel in the crown.
