York Theatre Royal is committed to providing Access for All, and has created a new workshop, Youth Theatre and event space, but we needs to raise £50,000 ensure that these facilities are accessible for wheelchair users, those with physical impairment or anyone who requires the use of push chairs or trolleys for mobility. Consequently they are holding a ten and a half hour sponsored danceathon.

The newly revamped De Grey rooms will be used for:

- Public events and dances in the ballroom

- Youth theatre

- Costume hire

- Workshops

- Community activities

- York Theatre Royal's own wardrobe, education, stage-management and rehearsal spaces

- Adult classes

- Outreach activities

York is a small city and has a lack of dance facilities and spaces such as this. Making sure that these rooms are easily accessible to and suitable for use by all is worthwhile, and any donations/sponsorships will be very welcome!
