In any programming enquiry, please make sure you include:

• Your name/company and contact details
• Succinct and clear information about the show/event
• Your target audience and audience development plan if you have one
• Tour pack (if you have one)
• Video footage, production shots or any other materials that can give us a good sense of your work (if you have this content)

We have set criteria/objectives that we assess all submissions against, which are Audience Development and Sales; Creative Case for Diversity; Artistic Quality; Locality. A successful submission will satisfy at least one of these criteria.

Please note we tend to programme our main space 6-18 months in advance, and our studio 3-12 months in advance.
