WELCOME TO
THE BURTON COSTUME PROJECT
Who We Are
We're a community-led costume library based in Burton upon Trent, helping schools, colleges, youth theatres and groups access affordable costumes for performances.
Whether you're putting on a play, showcase, or community event, we're here to make costumes more accessible, sustainable and inclusive.
​
What We Do
We collect and organise donated costumes, offering low-cost hire to grassroots groups. Student volunteers help photograph, catalogue and manage the collection, gaining real experience along the way.
​
Why It Matters
Creative arts should be open to everyone. By reusing costumes and providing volunteering opportunities, we help young people - especially those with additional needs - build skills, confidence and real-world experience.
It's about inclusion - and giving everyone a chance to take part, onstage or behind the scenes.
​
Our costume library includes full show sets, principle character costumes, and ensemble basics - ready for your next production. Our sets are flexible to suit your requirements.​
