Join us for Foundations Scratch Night: Volume 5, an evening of innovative, original work from brilliant local artists and creatives.
About this Event

Foundations Scratch Night returns to WX Wakefield for another evening of original and exciting work from some of the most inspiring local artists in the North.

Our scratch nights give artists the space to test new ideas, share new writing and perform works in progress in a supportive and welcoming environment. The night features a mix of theatre, comedy, music and spoken word, offering audiences the chance to see brand new work at an early stage and be part of its development.

Alongside the performances, we will be running a raffle to help raise funds so we can continue creating opportunities for creatives in Wakefield. All money raised goes directly back into supporting local artists and building our creative community.

Doors open at 6:30pm. There will be a 20 minute interval, and the venue will have a bar and food vendors available throughout the evening.

Raffle entries

- £1.50 for 1 strip
- £5 for 4 strips
