Woodstone1 Ltd, the main contractor appointed by Joseph Rowntree Theatre, has been progressing well with the build of the new Garden Room. The new facility remains on track to open in July.

The Garden Room project includes development of a new building to provide:

• Additional front of house public including an accessible toilet
• New in-house bar area with space for multiple use
• Internal waiting and meeting area to relax in 

Ground was broken in April to clear the site location for the Garden Room. Since then, pipe work and foundations have been laid, exterior wall structures erected, interior partitions put in place and most recently the roof structure has been added.

Joseph Rowntree Theatre Director Dan Shrimpton said:

“Huge thank you to everyone who has supported us so far – your generosity is making a world of difference for the new much-needed facility at the theatre.”

Whilst Phase One is well underway, soaring costs mean the theatre still needs to continue to raise an additional £10,000 towards the project.
