Update from Brunton Theatre Trust – shows are
not cancelled:
Brunton Theatre Trust is bouncing back thanks to the
support of performers, audiences, East Lothian
Council and local partners. The Trust was hit by
devastating news that its performance spaces had to
shut with immediate effect for structural surveys.
However, the programme of events has NOT been
cancelled. The Trust are working hard to source and
set up alternative venues for events, within
Musselburgh and close by.
