Weโre still based in the Morecambe area, the new place is a spacious unit, with enough room for all aspects of the company (office and creative space, room for rehearsals and for the storage of props/costumes). Weโll be sure to share more details soon, along with plenty of opportunities for a peek into the new place!
Itโs all systems go, as the move has already begun! Carpets and flooring are being fitted, phone lines have been installed, and in September external work will take place, as a joiner and painter start to spruce up the outside of our new home.
We are thrilled about this change and all the possibilities it brings! It would be incredibly remiss of us not to thank a mega amount of people who helped us reach this new chapter! Thank you to our amazing actors for their talent and dedication, thank you to our venues for choosing us, to our audiences for coming out to see us and to our followers, you beautiful bunch of beings! Without you, there would be no Little Gargoyle Ltd, so a heartfelt thank you from this merry band of murderers, Funcast Character Company and The Lancaster Adult Panto.
We may be a little slower replying to messages and emails, as the move limits time at our desks (we canโt even find our desks, everything is everywhere! ๐
) Thank you for your patience whilst we settle into the new place, weโll get back to you asap.
Thank you to The Morecambe Winter Gardens for providing us with our home for the past 8 years, itโs been a pleasure. Hereโs to exciting developments for us both! ๐ฅฐ
Big Love from
Sophie, Ben, Helen, Lee and co! X
Celebrations and investigations! Happy Birthday Rachel! ๐ฅณ๐ตโโ๏ธ
