It achieves paid attendance of over 500,000 each year in a single auditorium and attracts many more to a wide-ranging programme of creative activities.

Across all its activities the theatre achieves a turnover of over £25m which enables it to trade in regular surplus and invest in artistic and other development without the requirement for ongoing public funding.
