For May we're looking at objects with a link to hospitality. Whether it's popping for a drink in a pub, enjoying a meal or staying overnight, we'll try and find an object. These were found in most pubs in the mid 20th century. Perfect for adding a bit of soda to a drink.

Works inside 1435 are nearly complete and we’re starting to see the final finish of the building – recently the new seats were installed, and the decorative panelling has been refinished. This will help ensure we maintain our auditorium’s historic charm that you know and love!

We’ll be sharing more behind the scenes updates as we move into the final stages of the works and prepare to reopen later this year.
