This summer The Coronet draws together a rich cultural combination of poetry, performance, puppetry, film, dance, theatre, contemporary and classical music, drawing talent and influence from across the globe.

In this Summer season, we draw together experiences from international artists who explore issues that touch us all – tackling narratives of mental health, disability, abuse, self-harm and the ongoing difficulties women face.The Coronet will platform actors, filmmakers, poets, puppeteers, musicians and dancers, and through the most extraordinary performances help us navigate towards a better understanding of the world we live in today.” Anda Winters.
