Our wishlist: Recycle with us, and support local arts!

We are always looking for second-hand items for shows - making costumes, theatre sets, etc,  and we rely on finding these items in order to create our shows. By donating any of these items, you are helping the environment by recycling, aiding local community projects, and knowing that each item will be used to very good effect! Please scroll down for the list of items which we are looking for.

If you can help with any of these items, please contact us. We should be able to arrange for members to collect in Brixham, and if further afield, or a large amount of items, please let us know, and we will do our best! Postal donations of small items can also be arranged.    

If an item accepted becomes surplus to our needs in future, it is donated in turn to another non-profit theatre or film organisation.   
We are also now able to accept used postage stamps, empty ink cartridges and toners (HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Dell, Lexmark, Samsung, Sharp), as well as old mobile phones, which we are able to raise £1 per item with. (compatibles cartridges welcome).

Examples of what we can make, and our wishlist:

Example 1

This dress comprises two long brocade window curtains for the overdress and underdress (the "top" of the underdress being made from the lining of the curtains), three metres of wide lace, and some offcuts of ribbon.

Modelled by Laura, our secretary

Example 2

This costume comprises:
One window curtain, One net curtain, One bedsheet and
9 feet of Christmas beaded ribbon

The peach colour overdress was made with a peach coloured brocade window curtain. The Christmas ribbon was used as decoration down the front.
The underskirt was made from a lime green bedsheet with an overlayer of net curtain.
The frilly blouse was made from the lining of the brocade curtain.
