Gathering Twigs, The Nest at CFT by Leo Powell

Leo will talk about the campaign to build The Nest, the Chichester Festival Theatre's new performance space a sustainably minded, 120 seat mini theatre dedicated to emerging talent and community groups.

Chichester Festival Theatre has an award-winning Youth Theatre and a trailblazing LEAP (learning, education and participation) programme. However, to make more opportunities for newer performers and community participants, creating a smaller theatre space will makes an important addition to the CFT's already busy pair of stages. Planning and fund raising for this 1.5 million pound project has been a major undertaking as we learn from the Nest's appeal manager, Leo Powell.
