🎥 Watch: Gary Meikle at Webster Memorial Theatre, bringing his hilarious comedy to the stage! The Webster Memorial Theatre has long been a staple in the Angus community and it's brilliant to be able to welcome high profile acts such as Gary. who in his own words, describes the Webster as "one of his favourite venues in Scotland" 😍. It's not just us, or those who attend who have a great night when acts like Gary come to down, so does the businesses around us.

Last week we launched our "Inspire Angus" campaign - a campaign which aims to drive donation income which help support the delivery of our services. Shortly, visitors will see ‘Inspire Angus’ posters spread across our venues, which have QR codes linked to them showcasing specific items and activities they can help support. This campaign will highlight exactly how donations – even in small amounts – directly benefit the community and keep these vital services running smoothly. We encourage you to read about it - you can check it out below: Visit our Inspire Angus Campaign here: https://lnkd.in/eRgSwDu5 Full news story: https://lnkd.in/etEMc3by.
