Cheshire Rural Touring Arts

Who we are

CRTA is one of 34 rural touring schemes in the UK an overview of rural touring nationally can be found on the National Rural Touring Website https://www.ruraltouring.org/what-is-rural-touring/ Rural touring schemes operate all over the UK in regional coverage. We are the regional organisation in Cheshire as an Arts Council NPO organisation and we cover all of Cheshire with our activity.

What we do

We currently have permeant 20 venues on the CRTA and typically programme around 25 performances each season (in spring and autumn) with most companies performing 2-5 dates with us. The promoters are dedicated volunteers engaged in the whole process of hosting professional performances in their communities. Their role is to select, sell and run the evening of performances. Venues for these performances are Village Halls (mostly), but also schools, community centres and small arts centres.
