Operating Partner: Expressions of Interest, The Ropetackle Arts & Education Centre
The Ropetackle Arts and Education Centre, containing a purpose built
flexible performance space seating 200, a bar, cafe and meeting rooms,
was built as part of the regeneration of Shoreham-by-Sea Town Centre
with funding from SEEDA and Adur District Council. In February 2007 the
Council entered into a 30 year lease with the Ropetackle Centre Trust,
a charity set up by local people to run the centre. Funding was
received by the Trust, mainly from the Arts Council, to equip it to a
high standard.
Ropetackle became fully operational in September 2007 and its
programme has offered an eclectic mix of music, theatre, comedy, film
and literature based activities and workshops, which has achieved a
steady increase in audience numbers drawn from the Worthing to Brighton
catchment area. It also has a role as a community arts centre. In the
first half of June, as part of the Adur Festival, Ropetackle put on 15
events in a 16 day period with full houses for such diverse acts as
Michael McIntyre, Eliza Carthy, the Animals and Black Umfolosi 5.
The Trust, supported by Adur District Council, is now seeking
expressions of interest from potential partners working alongside the
Trust to exploit the increasing commercial opportunities offered by a
high quality arts and entertainment centre.
Initial expressions of interest are sought from potential partners
before 31st August 2008 with a view to more detailed proposals being
submitted by 1st October 2008 for the selection of a preferred partner
by the middle of November.
To receive further details about submitting an expression of
interest and an information pack about Ropetackle, please contact
Martin Allen at The Ropetackle Centre, Little High Street, Shoreham by
Sea, West Sussex, BN43 5EG, or by email to

We are now looking for venues and companies which would be interested in working with us, either individually, or in partnerships, during the second phase of the project. In return for your commitment and enthusiasm, See a Voice will provide the resources necessary to achieve a step-change in your provision of assisted performances.
In particular we are looking for applications from
· Venues that display commitment to excellent access from the senior management team down, right through the organisation, but which may not have had the resources or the time to dedicate to establishing their own captioning and audio description services
· Venues which have made some headway in developing their own services, but which would be interested in working with us to grow their deaf and visually impaired audiences or to ensure that the services are of the highest possible quality
· Companies that would be interested in exploring ways in which they could make their work accessible when it’s on tour
If your organisation meets any of these criteria, we would be interested in hearing from you. We are eager to make this opportunity available around the English regions to ensure geographic spread, and to a range of types of venues and companies.
