Congratulations Sheringham Little Theatre!!!

We’re thrilled to announce that The Hub at Sheringham Little Theatre has been voted Runner-Up in the first-ever Poppyland Radio Awards 🎉

We were honoured to be recognised in the Dining Out Award category, alongside the fantastic Friends Bistro in Cromer and Shambles Café, Bar & Bistro in North Walsham - what great company to be in 👏

A huge thank you to the Poppyland Radio listeners for nominating us, and to the VIP judges for including The Hub in the final three ⭐

Most of all, this recognition belongs to our amazing team of volunteers - the true backbone of The Hub and the theatre itself. Without their warmth, dedication and hard work, we simply couldn’t do what we do 💛

So, come and see our wonderful volunteers in The Hub! You can expect friendly surroundings, delicious treats and a little theatrical flavour in every cup ☕🎭

What does singing teach teachers?

Ask them what it brings to their pupils and you’ll hear words like joy, confidence, and connection. But ask what it brings to them, and the answers are often even more powerful.

A Finnish school project showed that when a musician joined classes for pupils with disabilities, it wasn’t just the children who lit up; it was the staff. Singing gave teachers and assistants new tools, fresh energy, and a stronger sense of community.

Research from Oxford, Cambridge, and the British Journal of Music Education backs this up: singing boosts wellbeing, builds confidence, and helps teachers feel more connected to their work and each other. It’s not just good for breath and voice, it’s good for morale.

And we can support these findings! We see this every week. You just need to take a look at our session leaders' faces! Singing brings colour to everyone involved.
