2024 Spring Concert

Our NYFTE Spring Concert is the first opportunity for our 2024 team to perform this season's repertoire to an audience of family, friends and supporters. 

 

Venue: Denstone College

 

Doors open at 14.00, and the concert will begin at 14.30. 

 

Tickets: If you'd like to come along, please reserve your tickets using this link

 

We will not be charging for tickets, but would welcome donations to support the team. You will be able to contribute online (this is in the process of being set up at the moment), or we will be collecting cash donations on the day. 

 

Accessibility: Unfortunately the theatre at Denstone College is only accessible using the main staircase, there are no lifts or level access. (This is due to it being a grade 1 listed building). The main staircase comprises several short flights of shallow steps, with larger landing spaces between. If this is an issue for you please contact us to discuss how we can arrange for you to be with us. 

 

Parking: There is ample parking at Denstone College, immediately outside the entrance to the main building.
