TOM’S 200th Birthday

Our 200th anniversary celebrations have been a whirlwind, and we are thrilled to announce that we have reached 75% of our £100,000 fundraising target, thank you thank you thank you!

To ensure we hit our goal and complete the vital upgrades our building needs, we are extending the campaign until 31 March 2026.

Look, we're not great at asking for help, but it's your help that will keep this hidden gem alive.

By talking about us, you're keeping a landmark and community space alive.

By coming to gigs and shows here, you're ensuring the next generation of artists have an audience, and a platform to take their craft to the next level.

By donating, you're keeping the doors open and keeping jobs in the local economy.

In short, TOM is only TOM with you involved.

If you can, please donate today.

With all our heart,
Team TOM x
