“The Wyeside Arts Centre in Builth Wells was the place where I first experienced art as an event. And this would be the same for thousands of people in mid-Wales – the catchment area for the Wyeside is enormous – roughly 15 to 20 miles.
It is the cinema, the comedy club, the theatre for an entire region of Wales and for me it was like a satellite from another world – bleeping out enchanting messages from other times and places. My first ever show as a playwright happened there.”
-Brad Birch, Playwright. ‘Theatres That Made Us’ The Guardian, July 2020 (Edited by Chris Wiegand)
Wyeside is more than just a successful arts centre – it is an integral part of our community. It is a charity which operates on income raised at the Box Office, on donations from its generous supporters, and on funding from a range of local and national bodies.
Unfortunately, public funding has come under increasing pressure over recent years, a fact which has required Wyeside to actively be on the look-out for alternative ways to increase income. It is essential that we continue to invest in Wyeside’s growth, enabling us to develop and increase the facilities and activities that we offer to our community and visitors.
We have supporters from all backgrounds - individuals who enjoy coming to Wyeside, local businesses that have leant their support, families who attend Wyeside and memorial plaques for family members. We even have a plaque from a celebrity!
Seats are available for sponsorship in both our Market Theatre and Castle Cinema auditoriums for £150. A plaque engraved with your name and/or message* is fixed to your chosen seat, and will remain there for 5 years, and your generous donation will also be acknowledged on our list of supports on our website.
If you have any questions, please email: Hermione Wright marketing@wyeside.co.uk or call 01982 553668.
