The year 2017 looks like a very exciting one for the new landmark project, the Ringwood Arts Centre! Following the amazing support of the local community, ‘The Meaningful Start Appeal’ – which was launched in October last year – has now reached nearly £20,000. The aim of the Appeal is to raise enough money to ensure the first spade goes into the ground before the planning permission expires in February 2017. Once work has begun, planning permission will be secured for the foreseeable future.Once built, Ringwood Arts Centre will be a multi-purpose venue with the local community at its very heart. Situated at Greyfriars Community Centre, it will include all the facilities that are currently missing in the town including a 290-seat theatre and widescreen cinema, a sports hall with sprung floor, and a modern activities centre.
If you’d like to show your support for Ringwood Arts Centre, then keep your eyes peeled for the events they have planned this year: Comedian Phil Lowen at Greyfriars on 11th Feb; RMDS will be taking on Sweet Charity for their Spring Musical at Ringwood School; and most inspiring of all Ringwood Arts Centre will be holding their very own Open Evening in May to show off all that is Arts Centre!
More exciting events are in the pipeline so keep your eyes peeled! Keep up to date with what’s going on and follow them on Facebook
