Last week, our Founder's Feather supporters were welcomed to our workshops in Bramley for a special behind the scenes afternoon.

Northern Ballet's Technical Director, Steve Wilkins, and his team offered guests a fascinating insight into the world of technical theatre, along with an exclusive first look at the Swan Lake set, which is currently in construction.
