ABOUT US

Who We Are

The Burton Costume Project is a community-driven effort to make theatre and performance more accessible and sustainable.

​​

Our Mission

We believe everyone should have the chance to express themselves through creative arts — regardless of budget or background. That’s why we focus on affordable costume hire, reducing waste, and building volunteering opportunities.

​​

How It Works

We collect donated costumes and create themed sets that local groups can rent at low cost. Income from rentals goes directly back into supporting young people and grassroots theatre. ​

​​​

Supporting Young People

We partner with Burton & South Derbyshire College, giving students real workplace experience. This helps build skills and confidence, opening doors to future jobs.​

​​

Our Community Partners

The Burton Costume Project is supported by a fantastic network of local partners and creatives:

Burton & South Derbyshire College – Providing facilities, SEND volunteer support, and interns who help build the project from the ground up.

Local volunteers and creative networks – Contributing time, advice, and practical help as we prepare to launch.

We’re grateful for everyone working behind the scenes to make this a reality.
