PEMBROKESHIRE’S Torch Theatre has been awarded a grant of £7,500 by Milford Haven Town Council, continuing a long history of support for community arts at the iconic venue.

Across the year the Torch hosts more than 2,000 events and activities seeing over 100,000 visitors. It’s one of only three building-based professional producing theatres in Wales.

With charitable status, the Torch is publicly funded with Arts Council of Wales and county council support. It’s also generously supported by local businesses and organisations including Milford Haven Port Authority.

Torch Theatre’s Chelsey Gillard said: “Being awarded grants such as this one from the Town Council helps us to deliver quality arts to the people of Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire and further afield.”
