Brighton People’s Theatre has had a blast working with people from Hangleton and Brighton Festival to get things ready for this year’s Your Place. We believe that the arts are for everyone, whether you want to paint, dance, sing, write, play, or just sit back and enjoy what is on offer. We hope that everyone will find something memorable to do this weekend. Naomi Alexander, Artistic Director Brighton People’s Theatre
We are so proud to be working with the Hangleton Steering Committee and Brighton People’s Theatre on Your Place. We have been meeting over the past year to programme and plan this weekend, and I am overly excited that it is finally here! The energy and passion from the steering committee members is superhuman! Everyone who walks through these doors to participate, perform, watch or make has something unique to contribute to the arts - your work, your laughter, your applause, even your raised eyebrows! You all make this event special, so thank you for sharing your energy and your community with us. This weekend is a dream come true! Beth Burgess, Executive Producer Brighton Festival
