What's On at the Courthouse

Autumn Programme 2008:

Our Autumn programme for the Courthouse and On Tour includes music, family theatre and a range of workshops.

Music promoter In the Dock is bringing Miles Hunt and Erica Nockall of The Wonder Stuff www.thewonderstuff.co.uk to the Courthouse in December.

The Yorkshire Film Archive will revisit the Courthouse in September and November with fascinating North Yorkshire film footage spanning 100 years.

The MusicLeader scheme will run seminars at the Courthouse in October and December with plenty of ideas for engaging young people in music, from making junk instruments to samba rhythms, conducting ensembles and encouraging boys to sing.
