A workspace and development programme opening this June: empowering self-made freelancers and entrepreneurs aged 18-30 working in the creative industries.

Membership to Roundhouse Works is more than just desk space. We offer bespoke support and training to support your career and business goals, plus talks, events, networking and more.

Whether you need help developing a business plan, building your brand or just understanding your next tax bill, our hands-on staff and tailored skills programme will help you to thrive as you navigate business and the creative industries.

Join our peer support network for directors

We’re excited to present this free, bi-monthly group for directors at any stage of their career. If you’re looking for an open and relaxed space to learn new directing techniques, get support from peers and share ideas, this is for you. At The Rep we are building a community of empowered directors in the West Midlands and we want you to be a part of it!

During these sessions, you will meet other directors to talk about topics affecting your area of practice, read scripts, discuss theatre shows and delve into directing approaches, theory and exercises. We will also give you a discounted ticket to see a show at The Rep after every session.

Led by The Rep’s in-house Associate Director Madeleine Kludje (GrimeBoy, City of a Thousand Trades) and featuring guest workshop leaders across the year, Directors Link Up offers a great place to connect and reflect.

For any questions or queries, please email with the subject line ‘Directors Link Up’. If you need subsistence to be able to attend, please e-mail and we will be able to discuss options.

We want to make this group as accessible as possible and encourage directors with lived experience of D/deafness, disability or neurodiversity to sign up.

Theatre Royal is a vibrant 200-year-old theatre located in the beautiful Suffolk town of Bury St Edmunds. Come and join us for a unique tour as head back in time to discover the trials and triumphs of the last remaining working Regency playhouse in the country.

Led by our enthusiastic team of Tour Guides, you'll travel around the theatre, taking in the building and all of its history, from front of house to behind the scenes. Step on up and into the spotlight where the likes of Ian McKellan CBE, Dame Judi Dench DBE, Sir Peter Hall CBE and many more have gone before you. You'll even get to tread the boards yourself!

To attend a tour, you must book in advance.

Tours are approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide accessible friendly tours due to the design of the theatre. Along with navigating around the building on foot, there are 83 steps included in the tour that cannot be avoided.

The project culminates with a networking session to help participants take the next steps in their careers.
