It's such a shame. I really hope it's just a glitch and that the NT re-incorporate it into whatever schedule they come up with. We'll definitely come along if they do!

Wonder if there is any mileage in the organisers approaching @englishheritage.bsky.social about Flaxmill Maltings as an alternative venue?

I’m so sorry this has been the outcome.

Please don’t you stop. There are so many of us who think your work is amazing. People who love it will seek it out. The AI versions will be in that sea of slop bobbing around with millions of other bits of flotsam.

There were some terrific people at Catz back in the day. I’m sure his research will pay dividends. I wish him all the luck in the world 👍

Sounds like just the kind of thing they'd want to run - drawing bands in from far and wide to their newly-acquired site and for charity. Keep us posted on what happens if we don't hear anything positive on here.

Well, I've put it out there. Hopefully, someone is on top of the BlueSky account and they can get back to us. Fingers crossed. . .

Many congratulations on the 125th birthday! I can see why you're worried with all the changes happening. On the upside, they are honouring all existing passes, so maybe that bodes well for the planned events too. Let's ask them. . .

I really hope everthing works out OK. It was sad, but not surprising, to see the statement from IGMT.

Sounds like the kind of rescue plan only an organisation with the resources of the National Trust could tackle.

The article includes the quote "IGMT explained: “The last five years have seen many charities and heritage organisations face funding challenges and the Museum’s trustees have concluded that Ironbridge’s future would be best secured as part of a larger organisation with a national profile.”
