£5 Torridge Film Deal is at The Plough!

Thanks to additional funding from Torridge District Council, The Plough Arts Centre are delighted to announce the Torridge Film Deal.

This means that Torridge residents are now entitled to film tickets at just £5 per person. Not only that, but throughout the Summer school holiday, kids can eat for just £1 (with any full paying adult meal, Tues – Sat 10.30am-2.30pm) making this a great value family day out!

Recently, Torridge Full Council voted to continue their funding of the Plough Arts Centre by pledging a further £30k in grants to the centre. The money will be paid over the next three years and will supplement a £120k grant the plough recently secured in a bid to the Arts Council, which they will also receive each year for next three years. In combination the money should secure the future of the plough in the run up to their 50th year and golden anniversary celebrations in 2025!

Local businesses will continue to benefit from the Ploughs 'shop local' purchasing approach with around £50k spent with local suppliers each year on food and drink produce for its café and other events. The Plough initially struggled to return to pre-covid ticket sales, so this funding will support them while they implement their latest business plans assisted by an army of fantastic volunteers from the local community and business sectors.

Councillor Cheryl Cottle-Hunkin - lead member for Culture and Community Engagement said: "We can clearly see that the Plough benefits people from all walks of life, all ages and all backgrounds, attracting people from across the region and beyond. I am so glad that Torridge is showing their commitment to the great work that they do, through this allocation of regular core funding.

"This continued support will also help the Plough when applying for future external grants where match funding is often a criteria. I was pleased that councillors spoke in such support of the Plough and recognised the added value for money this will offer the district, helping us to meet our key strategic aims towards arts and culture, health and well-being, the economy, and vibrant town centre."

The Plough would like to say 'a big thank you' to Torridge District Council for helping them support our community.
