Clonter's New Web Site

  OUR NEW WEBSITE IS HERE! We are delighted to announce that we are revamping our website, and we very much hope you think it looks fresher, and that you will find it easier to navigate and book tickets. It is a work in progress, and will take some time to complete.  You may notice it reverts back to our old format on certain pages whilst we develop the site, so please bear with us.   In the meantime, we would love your feedback, and if you experience any difficulties when booking tickets during this transition please call the Box Office on 01260 224 514. Here is a bit of a peep.  Or take a look at   www.clonter.org Clonter is 50 this year! Whilst we have a full programme lined up, there are still a few events that need some funding, and there is also the ongoing need for funding generally to continue to provide a nurturing and supportive place for emerging talent to flourish and entertain our audiences for generations to come.
