Bridge Project announces closure.
On 14 March 2025 the Bridge Project Sudbury announced it was closing due to
financial pressures. We believe their final day of operating will be 28 March with all
staff being made redundant as of the end of that day. This is a really really sad event
for the users of the Bridge Project, the staff at the Bridge, which includes the Sudbury
Arts Centre staff, and for Sudbury for whom the Sudbury Arts Centre was establishing
itself as the go to venue.
What we will do: We, the Friends, will do our utmost to keep the Sudbury Arts
Centre open after 28 March. We are planning to work with all local community
partners, the CCT, Babergh and the National Lottery Heritage Fund to ensure the staff
are kept on, the building kept open and for all events including those already booked
and those yet to be booked will take place. We can provide a short term solution to
ensure the building stays open, the staff stay employed and the venue continues to
operate until a longer term solution can be put into place.
We have already spoken to the Sudbury Arts Centre staff to say that they have our
full support to keep the venue going.
We are sure that everyone in Sudbury and the nearby communities will be joining
together to make sure this wonderful building continues to be a welcoming and
exciting venue for everyone to enjoy. So – stay tuned for more news on how we can
together make this happen.
