Helping to support Wooler Arts

Supporting Wooler Arts Making a donation Running a voluntary arts organisation is financially very challenging. Currently we receive no public funding, but have to rely on trusts, small grant applications, individual donations and box office income. Being a Registered Charity brings benefits such as Gift Aid, but it is the generosity of individuals that has been so helpful over the past five years, particularly with regard to the Summer Concerts, our most expensive activity. As we look to the future, we hope that support will be forthcoming in a number of different ways. If you would like to make an individual donation, you can do this by cheque made payable to Wooler Arts and sent to Wooler Arts PO Box 134 Wooler Northumberland NE66 9ES If you prefer to pay by bank transfer , please email us at info@woolerarts.org.uk and we will send you our bank details.

Lullabies, Charms and Songs from the Musicals

A concert like never before

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music and poetry with themes of sleep, dreams, ghosts, love and loss.

This unique performance brings together the ravishing voice of mezzo-soprano Rozanna Madylus and dazzling playing of pianist Iain Farrington, immersing you in a plethora of soundscapes, where every poem finds its musical counterpart.

After your interval drink, step back in time to the Golden Age of musical theatre; tap your feet and sing along with the uplifting, timeless tunes that have been embraced across generations.

Wooler Arts invites you to share in this breathtaking dialogue between lyrical poetry, a grand piano and soaring operatic vocals. We guarantee you will leave with a spring in your step and a song in your heart!
