delighted to be hosting a full day of events on 3rd December, to mark 250
years since the original building was constructed, 30 years since it received
Arts Centre status and one year since officially reopening to the public. It
is a chance for people to reminisce but to also look toward the future of
Square Chapel since it recently secured funding from Arts Council England’s
2023-26 Investment Round and joins the National Portfolio of Organisations
from April 2023.

We’re
lending some of our celebrations to revisit the building’s compelling history
and the figures affiliated with it, with the help of our favourite, local
Historian, David Glover.
Square
Chapel invites you to their 250th Birthday party in the Atrium Bar from 12
pm, which will continue throughout the day and will feature various local
performances, culminating in live DJ sets from 8 pm.
The evening’s event will be a toast to the arts, with a
Celebration Concert that will take place in Red Brick Theatre. Doors will
from 6:30 pm with a performance time of 7 pm. Square Chapel have chosen to
feature a line-up of local talents all of which have a special connection to
the venue. Audiences can expect an evening rich in talent and diversity with
a generous line-up.

SHED – Northern Rascals
Thursday 1st December
SHED is Northern Rascals’ brand-new project that
uses visual art, spoken word and performance to raise awareness
of the issues young people face with their mental health.
Performed by a small cast of dancers in a
pop-up structure, SHED invites its audience to stand on the
outside and look in. A chance to witness real-life experiences
told in a series of shorts, the audience get a glimpse of the
stories that make us – a portrait of love and loss and the
essential humanity that resides in us all. Having received
outstanding audience feedback to date and with the surging
reputation of the company, this performance is highly

Empty Orchestra
Thursday 9th March
Three dancers perform their favourite karaoke hits.
As each dancer takes their turn at the mic, the remaining two
take to the space, becoming backing dancers, lip-syncing and
encouraging each other into the spotlight. Through the revealing
act of singing, Empty Orchestra creates a safe space to embrace
both the wild, diva-like highs and deep, uncomfortable feelings
of cringe inherent to karaoke.
See the pains, pleasures and coping
strategies of each dancer unfold as they share their joy,
timidity and power. Featuring classics ranging from Dolly
Parton’s Jolene to Simon and Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence. And
yes – you’re allowed to sing along.
