Tucked along the historic Stoneway Steps in Bridgnorth, Theatre on the Steps has been at the heart of the town’s cultural life since 1964.

Once a Congregational Chapel, it has been transformed into a characterful, 182-seat venue where audiences enjoy an intimate experience of live performance. Our programme is bold, varied and year-round spanning drama, comedy, music and special events. As both a producing and receiving theatre, we create our own work while welcoming visiting artists and companies from across the UK and further afield, bringing fresh voices and ideas to Shropshire.

Community is central to everything we do. We provide FREE opportunities for local people of all ages to take part – onstage, backstage and behind the scenes – supported by a dedicated volunteer network and a small, passionate team. Our thriving Youth Theatre nurtures the next generation of performers and creatives. Alongside this, we support artists to develop new productions and build sustainable careers, championing Shropshire as a hub for ambitious, inclusive and artist-led theatre via our resident repertory programme.

Welcoming over 12,000 visitors annually, we operate without regular public funding, reinvesting every ticket sold into sustaining and growing our work.

Meadow Arts are a dynamic contemporary art charity delivering high quality, ambitious exhibitions & projects accompanied by inspiring engagement activities in unexpected, often rural places. Since 2001, we have challenged established notions of where and how excellent art can happen, and who can access it. We are committed to equality, diversity & inclusion and delivering relevant work to the audiences we serve, who may not ordinarily engage with visual art. Mainly our region covers Herefordshire, Shropshire & Worcestershire, where we create place-based, context-responsive exhibitions comprising new commissions & borrowed works by national /international artists, emerged and emerging talents.

Voice puts young people’s creative work and opinions front and centre. Our online magazine (voicemag.uk) covers arts, culture, tech and society, offers work to young creatives, and is open to any young person to post content. Our training programmes support young people to develop skills in arts reviewing, media-making and journalism, and we work with cultural organisations to embed young people’s voice (see: youthvoicetraining.uk).

We are aware that arts experiences and cultural careers are more accessible to those with more resources and contacts. We work with a wide range of young people to introduce them to local arts provision and develop their personal voice. Our training opens pathways into the creative industries for young people from less advantaged backgrounds. Our projects show that arts reviewing and working on a youth magazine build confidence and cultural capital, developing skills and networks for future employment.

We run projects across the Midlands but we love to work in Shropshire, our home, so do get in touch if you’d like to collaborate!
