Membership Matters
We all need Friends
In 1997, the developer who owned Market Hall at the time tried to turn it into a bingo hall. Friends of Market Hall formed and worked tirelessly to prevent that, and
the rest, as they say, is history. The Friends are now our members and supporters, and we invite you to join this growing group. Your donation will have a big impact both on and off the stage.
Your support makes great things happen – again and again
