Moving Roots Touring Network presents the five star production of Rent Party: coming to our Grand Hall for one more radically entertaining night only.
Rent Party has been co-created by an extraordinary group of artists from Peterborough with writers and creators from Manchester’s House of Ghetto; Darren Pritchard and Stewart Bowdon.
You are cordially invited to the party we all need. We’ll sing, we’ll dance, play games and tell our stories; creating a kaleidoscopic picture of what it means to be gifted, working class and LGBTQI+.
Rent Party is a co-created production written by Darren Pritchard, produced by Jumped Up Theatre and supported by Moving Roots.
Part of our OverCome Season
#OverCome2021
We want our shows to be as accessible to as many people as possible.
We offer tickets to most shows on a Pay What You Can basis throughout the year.
Tickets for Council Chamber performances in 2025 start at £9.50, and we have recommended pricing to help you choose a price that works for you.
We know that ticket price is a huge barrier for some. If you can afford to pay the recommended price or more, choosing to do so supports those that can’t. It makes it possible for us to continue to offer Pay What You Can and welcome those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend.
We are a COVID secure venue and are following guidelines set out by the government to make your visit a safe and enjoyable one.
All visitors need to wear a mask or face covering while in the building. This can be removed to enjoy drinks.
A one way system and hand sanitising stations will be in place.
This event takes place in person in our Grand Hall.
