Members and Supporters of The Mill - Have Your Say on its future.
Let’s Shape the Future – Together!
Sunday, 31st August, 10am-3pm.
Sharnbrook Mill Theatre has always thrived on the passion, creativity, and dedication of its volunteers. As we look ahead, we’re exploring the introduction of a new coordinator role—a position designed to support, not replace, our incredible volunteer team.
We want your voice in this conversation.
Join us for a dynamic Open Space Session on Sunday, 31st August. This is your opportunity to share ideas, raise concerns, and help shape a role that enhances our community and strengthens our shared mission.
Together, we can ensure the Mill Theatre continues to flourish – with every voice valued and every role respected.
We look forward to seeing you there!
What to Expect
The Session, which will run from 10am to 3pm, will be comprised of several parts:
An open, inclusive discussion.
Collaborative breakout sessions on topics surrounding this idea.
A chance to influence how the coordinator role is defined and implemented.
We will provide lunch for attendees – great ideas need fuel!
Schedule for the day
10:00 AM – Welcome & introduction
10:30 AM – Opening circle & topic setting
11:00 AM – Breakout discussions
12:30 PM – Lunch break
