Light our Stars

Light our stars logo

Our theatre is for everyone. Everyone who comes through our door changes us in some way, and everyone who comes through our door is changed in some way. This year, our annual Christmas Show spectacular has been chosen by you! The very people who have helped us break the mould and shake things up over the last 50 years.


To help celebrate this incredible milestone, we’ve launched our Light Our Stars Appeal and would love for you to get involved! We’ve seen, lived and been inspired by the power of community and whether you donate £1 or £10,000 you will be helping us to bring the beauty of a Chickenshed performance to thousands of people this Christmas.
