The character Jamie (a young black woman with dark, braided hair, wearing a grey top and patterned blue leggings) looks out over the stage in disbelief. She is hugged tightly by two other people.

Unfortunately the Gate is now closed.

As a registered charity, we relied on the generosity of our Supporters. They were a core part of our community without whom we would not have been able to survive for as long as we did.

We thank everyone who donated over the last 47 years.

The Gate was where I found out who I was and what I cared about. It means the world to me and to so many artists.
