Fresh from the oven… and a little bit burnt around the edges 🍰
@badappletheatre return to Glusburn Institute with Crumbs – a sharp, funny and brilliantly chaotic one-woman show packed with comedy, clowning and (yes) live baking.
Meet our heroine: once the face of a hit TV baking show, now “politely moved on” for being too old for television… or so she says. Determined to reinvent herself as the next big online sensation, she dives headfirst into the ruthless world of influencers, followers and viral fame 📱
What could possibly go wrong?
Quite a lot, as it turns out.
Expect big laughs, familiar frustrations, and a wonderfully honest look at reinvention, resilience, and keeping the oven – and the lights – on when everything feels stacked against you.
And the best bit? You’ll get to taste the results 👀
Friday 1st May
Doors 7pm | Show 7.30pm

Accessibility continues to guide our ongoing improvements.
Along with the work we have previously announced to enhance physical access access and be more inclusive, we’ve also been working with Contacta who are a leader in assistive technology solutions, to design a suitable hearing loop system for our Auditorium. The system will be installed very soon and will significantly improve the experience for people who come to shows and events and use hearing aids.
These updates are part of our wider commitment to making our building as inclusive, welcoming and accessible as possible for everyone who visits.
Jan 29
Inclusivity and accessibility are at the heart of everything we do.
Just over five years ago, we took an important first step in this mission by installing a passenger lift serving all floors and new toilets on the first floor. This week, we’re building on that commitment by commencing further improvements to ensure our building is welcoming and accessible to everyone.
Included in the programme of works taking place, the ground floor entrance is being upgraded with automatic door systems to support easier access in and out of the building, and the ground floor toilets are being made gender neutral.
These changes are about removing barriers, respecting different needs, and creating a space where everyone feels comfortable, supported, and included.
We’re always learning, so if you have suggestions, experiences to share, or would like to be involved in shaping a more inclusive space, we’d really love to hear from you.

🎉 Happy 2nd Birthday, Social Singalong! 🎂
Two years ago today, we ran a first "come and sing" session that brought people together for an afternoon of songs and laughter — and it's never stopped since!
Every Thursday, 2–3pm, up to 20 of us gather for a sing, a chat, a cuppa and a catch-up, led by singing teacher Will from Theatre Works Academy. It's brought together about 40 people so far — including folks living with dementia, Parkinson's, COPD and limited mobility, and the family and carers who come along with them. It's not really about hitting the right notes (though we manage that too!) — it's about friendship, memories, and a good laugh.
As one of our regulars puts it every single week: "I think it's brilliant." 💛
This group has been made possible thanks to grant funding from Craven Communities Together and the Bradford 2025 Social Prescribing Award — and we're actively seeking further funding to keep it free to attend for everyone who needs it.
If you fancy joining us — whether you love to sing or just love good company — everyone's welcome. No experience needed, just bring yourself (and a friend or two, if you like!).
📍 Glusburn Community & Arts Centre
🗓️ Thursdays, 2–3pm
Here's to many more years of singing, friendship and joy. 🎶

📣 Facebook is changing how we can reach you… and we need your help.
Facebook has introduced limits on how often pages like ours can include links in posts. We’re now restricted to just 2 posts containing links per month.
To increase that to 9 links per month, we would need to pay for a Meta One subscription which, for a small charity like Glusburn Institute, isn’t cheap.
Facebook is one of the main ways we keep our community informed. We use it to tell you about upcoming events and activities, share important local information, and support our wider role as the Community Anchor Organisation for the South Craven area.
Being restricted on links makes that much harder. Whether it’s buying tickets, finding out more about an event, accessing community information or directing you to another organisation, sometimes the easiest thing is simply being able to give you a link to click!
So, we need your help.
Please keep engaging with our posts - like them, comment, share them and follow our page. It all helps us continue reaching as many people locally as possible.
We’d also really encourage you to save our website to your favourites/bookmarks or add it somewhere easily accessible on your phone, tablet or computer.
We can’t even pop a link on this post because we have reached our limit for September!
Our website has our latest events, tickets, activities and information, so you can always find us there even when Facebook makes things a little more difficult!
We are looking into whether a Meta One subscription is worthwhile, but as a charity we need to be confident that the additional cost represents good value for money.
As always, thank you for following, sharing and supporting Glusburn Institute. It genuinely helps us get the word out. ❤️ ...
