Shropshire’s rural theatre company, Pentabus, is holding a yard sale with 50 years’ worth of costumes, props, furniture, artefacts, and memorabilia up for grabs.

The sale is part of their 50th birthday fundraising programme and comes just in time for their move to Ludlow Assembly Rooms. They are the only rural touring company that is committed to producing new work and tours to communities across the UK and beyond.

This is the first time Pentabus has done a sale of this kind with play texts, costumes, props, and furniture from shows, and Pentabus memorabilia. Items for sale include a crow mask, a large red pineapple prop, and a lemonade sign.

The Yard Sale will take place at The Old School, Bromfield, Near Ludlow, SY8 2JU on Saturday 9 March from 10am – 2pm.

Pentabus has more in store for its celebrations including a walk from their old base at The Old School in Bromfield to their new home at Ludlow Assembly Rooms on Sunday 14 April at 10am. Up to 50 walkers will follow an off road, accessible route, with the option of a pre-booked lunch at Bills Kitchen to celebrate reaching the finish line.

They are also holding a birthday theatre promenade supper. There are limited spaces available on Wednesday 10 July where three courses will be enjoyed at three different Ludlow venues with a live performance.
