Testimonials

Thank you both so much for making the Fringe happen. It was a strange and wonderful Fringe and I doubt we’ll ever have another one like it. It wouldn’t have been possible without all your hard work and vision and we’ll never forget Fringe 2021. I hope we’ll be back next year.
Joan Greening, Producer/Director theSpace @ Surgeons Hall, 2021
I just wanted to say from everyone in the group that we had such an incredible experience and thank you and everyone at the space so much for making it possible. Those of us who are staying in the group are already looking forward to Fringe 2022, And I’d love to get the ball rolling on our booking as soon as possible!
Ollie MacDonald-Taylor, Producer - Illuminations - theSpace @ Surgeons Hall, Grand Theatre. 2021
“Now more than ever it is relevant to have a programme that puts diversity and inclusion at the heart of what to include, not the box ticker it is for most. theSpaceUK does not put profits or fame on its agenda, instead giving a chance to shows that defy the norm, featuring the most LGBTQ+ shows of any venue company. It was open, fresh and at times, a tough medicine but exactly what was needed. The programme rightly won our most dynamic programme award of 2019, down to its variety of shows and all round passion for diversity. More than just LGBTQ+ it hosted shows tackling racism, disabilities and more. No area of theatre was off limits and all ceilings were broken. theSpaceUK has leaped forward and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

We had a great time at theSpace this year and managed a 50% increase in audience numbers over the previous years figures .. we’d love to come back to Surgeons’ Hall in 2020 if you have room for us ..
Ray Globe, Producer/Performer The Glummer Twins, theSpace @ Surgeons Hall 2019
The atmosphere at theSpaceUK was very special and the venue is brilliantly organised. A couple of friends have been made for life from among fellow performers.
Katherine Clarke, Producer, theSpace @ Surgeons Hall 2019
We had a great time again at theSpace and our shows were successful, especially FreePlay’s shows which averaged over 70% full. We’re thinking of coming back, and would be happy to work with theSpaceUK again.
Dylan Bell, Producer, Freeplay, theSpaceTriplex 2019
We all had a great time and I loved the degree of organisation you guys have. Thank you!
Richard Corruthers, Producer, Nelson TC, theSpaceTriplex 2019
It has been a very successful Fringe for Loving the Enemy. We had Friday almost sold out and Saturday a total sell-out with Monday to Thursday around two thirds full. The show was really well received and we had very positive reviews.
Hilda De Felice, Producer, Loving the Enemy, theSpace @ Surgeons Hall, 2019
Another fab year. Pencil us in for next year- same time, same place ;)
Elaine Williamson, Producer, Rock Choir, theSpaceTriplex 2019
The one thing we all agree on was that theSpace @ Surgeons Hall was the best possible venue and the support from theSpaceUK was extremely helpful.
