The Station is a great venue with a high footfall where lots of people can enjoy the art without booking or charge. "We are grateful to the Station staff for their continuing support."

"It is firmly based in our local community, gives opportunities to a large number of great local artists, and ultimately benefits less fortunate people through the charities it supports.".
