Lowry over the Christmas 2024 period. This marks an important first slep in creating new work lor larger, partner
venues- essential if the growth in our ambition, output. reach and reputation are lo be sustained as our home
venue nears capacity. Increased audience numbers will contribute lo ongoing financial suslainabilily, with plans
in place lo ensure our existing audiences engage with this new programme and indeed enjoy special insights
and previews within Hope Mill itself. We are encouraged by extensive audience consultation that shows
extraordinary loyalty and commitment among existing audiences, with a clear readiness to increase their
attendances and participation il we can provide more ol what they love.
Meanwhile early work is under way with commercial partners on the creation of an original new musical,

O'Grady. The project has been several years in developrnenl and 202415 will be a pivotal year in realising il in
