We’re making Southgate Theatre Accessible
Southgate Theatre is an incredible community asset in Honley. We are privileged to have this resource in the Holme Valley. However, we are acutely aware that it is difficult for people with varying physical difficulties to access it currently. We want to change this.
We have had some amazing plans drawn up which illustrate the real possibilities available.
