Fantastic to see Citizens Theatre in Glasgow reopened 🎉

It is a major project in which Theatres Trust has been closely involved over the past decade, including an Advisory review, planning application support and two small but significant grants

Sad day! final ever trip to @4dmodelshop.bsky.social I have been using their shop and services for nearly 40 yrs from student days to now. They blame a combination of #Brexit costs , national insurance, rent etc . Depressing that such a unique ,vital supplier to the design world is no longer viable
Can we persuade @PauleConstable to come out of retirement that she hasn’t quite gone into yet ! ?
