The Grand Events Guide: January - May 2020
Happy New Year and welcome to an exciting new season of programming at The Grand. We have more than 50 events listed in these pages and more than 30 of these shows are playing or performing at the venue for the very first time. Our 20:20 vision is to provide a creative programme that offers new discoveries for all age groups of our community - whether it is introducing young children to theatre for the very first time, persuading independent bands to bring their tour to Clitheroe, or offering tried and trusted entertainment to our most established concert goers. Creative participation is high on our agenda too. More than 500 of you join us on a weekly basis at our creative classes: The Grand Choir (Monday), Be My Band (Monday / Thursday), Let’s Dance (Wednesday), Streetfeet (Thursday), Rock and Learn (Friday) and Ella Shaw’s Academy of the Arts (Saturday morning). All these projects are going great guns, but we do still have capacity for anyone interested in joining these activities. To read more about them, see pages 6 - 9 or get in touch with us at hello@thegrandvenue.co.uk . Throughout 2020 The Grand will also be partnering and assisting in the production of a number of local arts festivals. This starts on February 8th, with the Snowmoon Festival, a celebration of light and the coming of spring, in which many local venues will be participating. Make a note in your calendars for: The Ribble Valley Jazz Festival (1st weekend of May), Cloudspotting Festival, Gisburn Forest (June 19-21), King of the Castle Skate Comp (June 27) and Clitheroe Choir Festival (July 10-12). Watch out too for the advent of a new festival, Hope Streets, which will be produced by young creatives under the leadership of Curious Minds, over the summer months. We would like to thank all our partners, audiences and participants for your continued support and reserve the biggest shout for our volunteer team who help make your experiences with us all the more enjoyable. We look forward to welcoming you to one or more of our events.
