This campaign has now closed
Pentabus is a touring theatre company bringing new plays and community projects to rural areas across the UK. Pentabus has been established for 35 years. To carry out this work we need reliable transport. Our current van desperately needs to be replaced before our next major tour in February

Situation
People living in rural areas do not enjoy the same access to live, professional arts as those living in the cities. Over the 30 years since Pentabus was created the rural demographic has changed a lot with young people moving away to the cities and older people moving to the country. Access to culture via TV and internet has increased exponentially but this audience is one that appreciates live arts that are both professional and relevant.
Solution
Pentabus exists to redress this imbalance between city and country by bringing live theatre and participatory projects to the heart of the countryside, performing in villages, market towns at heritage sites or even in fields. Our work reflects the lives
