JANUARY - APRIL 2020
Welcome
Welcome to our winter into spring season of entertainment. We‘ve been working hard to put together an exciting programme at both Heywood Civic Centre and Middleton Arena and are pleased to offer a little something for all the family. A must see this February is the brand new stage adaptation of Mary Shelley’s iconic ‘Frankenstein’. The show visits Middleton Arena for one week only on February and we are so delighted to have secured the only Greater Manchester dates on the production’s nationwide tour. Thank you for supporting our venues and the vital work that our charity does. Many Thanks
