Professional entertainment in our village halls

Thanks to Centre Stage, a subsidised rural touring scheme for Leicestershire and Rutland, we can now enjoy a wide variety of highly professional live shows and concerts in our local village halls and community centres.

Centre Stage brings touring companies and artists with regional, national and international profiles to venues across the two counties. The scheme was set up in 2002 and works with volunteers in communities to present high quality professional arts performances to rural audiences.  In 2009/10 it held 136 shows involving 61 groups of volunteers and a total audience of 8,500 across 61 communities in the region.

Centre Stage is funded by Leicestershire County Council, all district and borough councils in Leicestershire, Rutland County Council and the Arts Council England.
