And with the end of the run of 'Please right back', our programme for 2024 is done!

What a time it's been. We've had some fantastic events and memories this year. Reigning Women, In The Box, 1927 and so much more.

From all of us here, we just want to say thank you to the wonderful artists who graced our stage this year. A big thank you to everyone in Team TOM for going above and beyond. And of course, a big thank you to you, our audiences and our community, for coming along and supporting us. We can't do what we do without audiences.

2025 is a big year for us, so with this in mind, the team are taking some much needed time off for a few weeks, to rest and recharge for the busy year ahead. We'll be back online from Monday 6 January.

Whatever you're up to, have a great time, and we'll see you in... *gulp*... 2025.

*A NEW GIG FOR A GIG FUNDRAISER*

This is a special one...

For one-night-only, we present HOLLIE McNISH & FRIENDS.

A night of spoken word magic, in many ways...

It's taking place as part of our Reigning Women programme, with Hollie being joined by some awesome guests (guests TBA)...

It's happening In The Box, so audiences will be able to chill on a chair or beanbag, and be surrounded by 360º of beautiful visuals...

AND... it's a Gig for a Gig fundraiser, meaning that all money raised will go towards supporting the next generation talent taking to our stage.

A really limited number of tickets available for this one - Friends/500 priority booking now open, with general booking opening Fri 6 Dec @ 10am.

See you there!

WE'RE AWARD-NOMINATED!

TOM's In The Box Festival has been longlisted for the 2025 in the category of Digital Content.

The awards celebrate the use of technology in creativity and culture, showcasing the best in digital transformation, engagement, and accessibility.

We're proud to be included in this list of outstanding non-profit organisations and practitioners, and want to say a huge thank you to the Digital Culture Network and Arts Council England for their recognition and support of the project.

We want to give a special thanks to our wonderful team, who have worked tirelessly to ensure that this brand-new format is the best it can be from all perspectives. Everyone from Front of House and Box Office through to the flat-out work by our technicians - they've gone above and beyond. Team TOM is nothing without this team.

And of course a huge thanks to the artists who have embraced the creative potential of the space, and to the audiences who have ventured with us into this new world so far. There is so much more to come, and we hope you'll continue to journey with us in the months and years ahead.

Long live the Box.

Kosmos, Johanna Bramli, Forest Swords, Banxi, Nick Pynn, Kate Daisy Grant, Xanthe Gresham-Knight, Third Bloom and Wes Banderson for making the Box beautiful.
