ACTIVITIES ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The biggest investement has been in the new windows along the Pelsall Road and Chester Road North sides of the building. The old wooden windows were rotting in places and needed frequent maintenance. The new windows have retained the style and look of this local landmark and combined with this better thermal and acoustic insulation. We couldn't have done this without the help and support of Walsall Council, so we are grateful for their assistance.

The Lamp Theatre has undergone a transformation. The floor has been re-laid and we have replaced the wooden Staging with a modern modular solution, which is easier, and more flexible for the many groups that use the theatre. We have had some spectacutar Productions in the theatre again this year, and it's been used regularly for concerts and dance evenings. The Lamp Theatre is available for hire for parties and weddings. More information is available from the staff at the centre.

The centre continues to be an integral Part of Walsall Council's locaility strategy. Providing delivery services to local people in their own local centre. We have coordinated a funding bid for all the local community centres across Walsall to tackle the wider determinants of health. The bid for 2024/25 and 2025/26 is worth a total of £400K. Brownhills Community Association are managing the bid for the borough. ,

The centre is extremely busy on most days and there has been an increase in room booking. There is a lot of information on our website for our regular groups and forthcoming productions and entertainment taking place in the Lamp Theatre. We are also delighted to welcome Little Lanters tea room.

We have held a number of events in Brownhills Civic Square, the Winter and Spring Festivals attracted hundreds of visitors and featured open air performances by our resident ladies’ choir, Sing Out Sister, and youth group Thespian Arts.
