If you’ve only been to Jacksons Lane to see a show (or to take part in a class!), you might not be aware of all the other amazing things that happen inside our walls (and out in the community!).
Since our reopening in March 2022 (following our £4.6 million refurbishment) we have welcomed back both artists and our community. Here’s a snapshot of what the team at Jacksons Lane got up to over 2022-2023.

We gave 344 free tickets to our Christmas show, Jack and the Beanstalk, through our Pay it Forward scheme.

On Christmas Day 2022, we hosted 103 guests for a glorious festive meal, complete with entertainment and guests. We also delivered 213 Christmas hampers to people in our community who were not able to make the journey to Jacksons Lane.

Over the year, 117 children and young people attended weekly circus workshops, or one of our holiday projects.

Jacksons Lane’s Annual Review looks back on a year of performances, projects and people, and the stories that lie behind the numbers. Our Co-Director, Hannah Cox, reflects on what 50 years of community and connection means, and looks ahead to what comes next.
