A LETTER FROM SALLY HUGHES & ADAM ROLSTON THE ARTISTIC DIRECTORS OF THE MILL
As we look ahead to another exciting season at The Mill at Sonning, we want to begin by saying a heartfelt thank you. Your continued support means an enormous amount to us, and it is because of our audiences, friends, supporters and wider Mill community that this extraordinary theatre continues to thrive. The past year has brought real challenges, as it has for so many independent venues. There have been difficult decisions, uncertain moments and a huge amount of work behind the scenes. But through it all, our belief in The Mill and in the people who make it so special has only grown stronger. Thanks to the loyalty of our audiences, the dedication of our staff, volunteers and creative teams, and the generosity of those who have supported us, we move into the new season with renewed confidence and optimism. One of the most exciting developments this year is our new partnership with Elegant Cuisine, who now lead our restaurant and hospitality offer. Their arrival has already brought fresh energy and an exceptional standard of dining, while ensuring that the familiar faces and warm welcome you know remain at the heart of The Mill experience. “EVERY TICKET BOOKED, EVERY MEAL ENJOYED AND EVERY VISIT MADE HELPS SECURE THE FUTURE OF THIS UNIQUE VENUE, AND WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL.”
What makes the partnership particularly special is the shared sense of purpose behind it. Elegant Cuisine are passionate about investing in people, creating opportunities for young talent, and developing local skills — values that align beautifully with our own belief that The Mill should be more than a theatre. It should be a place that enriches, supports and brings together our community. And now, we are delighted to share one of the most exciting seasons in our history. Alongside a rich programme of plays, musicals, concerts and special events, we are especially thrilled to introduce VICTORIA HISLOP’S THE ISLAND, adapted into a spectacular new musical by the creative team behind MY FAIR LADY. It promises to be one of the theatrical highlights of the year, and we cannot wait for you to experience it. Whether you are returning for an old favourite, joining us for a concert, celebrating a special occasion or discovering The Mill for the very first time, we hope this season offers something to surprise, delight and inspire you. The future of The Mill at Sonning is being written one performance at a time, and we are delighted that you are part of that story.
Here’s to an unforgettable season ahead.
With our warmest wishes,
