Snooker in the 50th Anniversary year
The Crucible plays host annually to the World Snooker Championships, and for our 50th anniversary, Betfred World Snooker wanted to pay tribute to our hard-working staff who make the international sporting event happen every year. Watch the short film to hear what Snooker means to us and our teams.
We held our annual Fundraising Gala on Thursday 26 May - a 50th Anniversary special - to generate support for the next 50 years of theatre in Sheffield. The event was supported by Investec Wealth and Investment as headline sponsors and raised a huge £74,210 through ticket sales, donations and fundraising on the night! We are so grateful to everyone that supported the event. The funds raised will help us keep investing in talent, working with our communities, developing Dementia Friendly projects and creating brilliant work on our stages as we head into our next 50 years.
