TOM’S 200th Birthday

In 2025 our building turns 200, and The Old Market Charitable Trust celebrates one year as a charity!

Independent grassroots venues are facing unprecedented times, and it feels like not a day goes past without a local institution or hidden gem being lost.

We need to raise £100,000 by December 2025 in order to meet urgent upgrade needs and secure our long-term financial position.

We've always been shy about directly asking our community for support, but in 2025 we are asking you to consider giving us a birthday present we won't forget!
