MERRIMAN PARK FUNDAY
Daisy and the trustees attended Merriman Park on Saturday 7th September, to express the importance of our charity and what we do to support Strode Theatre.
It was great to see so many of our community supporting Strode Theatre.
Professional Mamma Mia Workshops
Our workshops saw over 10 new families through the theatre doors. We saw children from Taunton, Yeovil and our surrounding villages attend.
Thank you to our fabulous guest, for helping us raise over £500 for the charity.
March Quiz 2024
Another successful quiz, which was organised by our fabulous quiz team. The quiz raised over £400 and the theatre saw over £500 taken on the bar.
This is fantastic!!!
Keep your eyes peeled for the next quiz night.
We’ve had a busy start to 2024.
This month we’ve bought a MacBook Pro (Laptop), New bar fridge and a Digital Sound Desk for the Studio.
The photo above is the new Digital Sound Desk. This will offer more channels and sound for live events.
Thank you to ALL members for their contributions.

Thank you to current and future friends, for attending our first event of 2024.
Monday night was full of positivity. I think we can all agree it was a great evening.
Over 60 of our current members attended Monday nights event. The trustees and myself got to share last years successes, targets for 2024 and our exciting plans for this year. I believe every single person saw how passionate we are about this amazing theatre.
Lucy Burton - Technical & Operations Manager at Strode Theatre, kindly spoke to our members and thanked them for thier continuous support. Lucy also shared the latest updates on the current theatre situation, and as stated previously it was ALL very positive. The Theatre is even booking into Mid 2025, with requests for 2026. This is fantastic news.

Christmas Wreath Workshops
Organised by Lorna Clark
All profits to The Friends Of Strode Theatre.
Thank you to Lorna for all her hard work towards organising this event. Both workshops were a massive success again. Also a BIG thank you to those who participated and continue to support the theatre. Your support doesn't go unnoticed.
CHRISTMAS SUPER SUNDAY
Another very success event organised by Daisy and Lorna, bringing a tremendous amount into The Friends Of Strode Theatre pot.
We saw over 50 children meet Santa. Last year we had 21 children enter the grotto. Huge success this year!
There was 20 stalls in the bar and studio, ranging from sweet treats to jewellery. It was great to see so many local businesses supporting each other and the theatre.
We can't forget the local fire service popping along to see us too. The kids loved this! Even Patty the Panto Dame had a photo.
Thank you again for all those who attended this Christmas event.
We look forward to next year.
