Malmesbury Live Arts

Malmesbury Live Arts is a new Community Interest Company set up to support the performing arts to thrive locally. A not for profit organisation, we will bring artists, promoters, technicians and the public together to create a vibrant, sustainable programme of local live arts performances for everyone to enjoy.

Whilst we are setting up we want to hear from you. What types of live arts are you into and what would you turn up to support in your locality? By Live Arts we mean music, dance, theatre, comedy … and anything else that is live, in person.

Thank you for your time to participate in our local research project. This survey consists of 20 or so questions and should take no more than 5-10 minutes of your time. All information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence. We have endeavoured to make the questions as simple as possible and most require just tick box answers. We hope you enjoy the survey experience!
