We're over the moon to have received the UK Theatre Award for Excellence in Sustainability! UK Theatre Awards celebrate creative excellence and outstanding work on and off stage. Excellence in Sustainability is a new award and we are very proud to be industry leaders in this area.

One of our values is to be sustainability minded in everything we do. Visit our Green at CFT webpage to read our about our achievements and commitments.

This year, we trialled a pilot of the second edition of the Theatre Green Book, that launched in June. We were already on this journey, and this gave us the opportunity to sharpen our focus. Angela Buckley, our Green Book Coordinator, was recruited this year to champion this work:

'I am determined to pull together with the theatre industry to change, learn and share new practices. Who knows how productions and theatres can help tackle the Climate Emergency? This award is for our staff, our community and every theatre who is embracing Theatre Green Book'

Two members of staff dressed in smart clothing stand on a red carpet in front of a UK Theatre Awards backdrop, holding a glass trophy. They look very happy and proud.
