Live Events, Exhibitions & Arts Classes in SW London

August and September have seen us take some big steps. We held a sold out, socially distanced Summer Art School and concurrently…

…a very successful, timed entry art exhibition showcasing local artists. The new look in our grounds saw it used as an exhibition space for the first time with Surrey Sculpture Society exhibiting over three weekends. Local actor Amanda Root then put on…

…a delightful ‘theatre in the round’ fundraising production of Playing Jane for two nights, which was rapturously received by the lucky 76-strong audience who saw it each night at socially distanced tables.

Now we know that we can successfully and safely hold classes we are running more this Autumn, alongside others online and also welcoming back two of our singing classes in the live, but socially distanced, flesh. The enthusiasm of all our customers was marked and illustrates the desire we all have to get on with our lives in safety.

We are still a long way from business as usual for the Landmark. Under current social distancing regulations, live performances will be difficult financially for us as our 329 seating capacity is reduced to only 76.

However we are determined to do whatever we can to provide a range of arts activities for people.

We have applied to Arts Council England for financial aid from the Government’s arts rescue package to fully support us through to next March. We expect a decision during the first week of October. We thought our application was strong, but we are in competition with every theatre, music venue, museum and gallery in England.

So we still need your help to keep the Landmark alive. If you are able to, then please…

Thank you
Martin Nicholds, Chairman of the Trustees
