It really has been a good week for Tewkesbury's Roses Theatre.

It has just received funding from three organisations, which will allow its outreach and youth and community to continue and grow.

A successful application to the Arts Council means £50,000 to spend on developing the theatre's outreach department.

Meanwhile, a further £45,000 Heritage Lottery Fund grant will allow the theatre to work with the Fairgame Theatre Company to create a play about the lives of show people and the story behind the Mop Fair, to tour schools and community venues in 2007.

In addition The Lincoln Group donated £5,500 to help continue the youth theatre and workshops Youth and community director Ruth Wells said she was delighted at the financial support.
