Until 1 March 2023 the Belgrade Theatre will be working with the national Warm Welcome campaign, which aims to support local people through the coming winter months.

Warm Welcome spaces are inclusive, non-judgemental spaces where everyone can expect a warm welcome from staff.

The Belgrade’s Theatre Warm Welcome runs on Wednesdays from 3pm - 5pm and Saturdays 10am - 12pm, and will include: free tea and coffee; free activities including arts and craft workshops, film screenings, and a creative play space for families; and the use of books, puzzles and magazines.

Subsidised food offers include a mug of soup and a bread roll for £1 and a healthy box meal (soup or a sandwich, fruit, cookie and squash) for £2.

The Theatre’s Nineteen 58 bar and restaurant, is open every day and has free charging points and co–working spaces.

Laura Elliot, the Belgrade’s Chief Executive, said: “The Belgrade Theatre is here for its community, first and foremost. Some people will be facing a stark choice between food and warmth this winter. We are here to do whatever we can to create a warm welcoming spaces full of kindness, creativity and community. We are very grateful to be partnering with Coventry Building Society to support as many people as possible through what will be a hard winter.”

Anyone wishing to support the Belgrade’s Warm Welcome, are invited to contribute to the Theatre’s ‘Pay It Forward’ initiative in the Belgrade Café, or the Making Memories campaign, which helps local families, facing significantly challenging circumstances such as financial hardship, abuse, homelessness and illness, with opportunities to engage with theatre, such as attending the Belgrade Pantomime.
