The campaign asked businesses to purchase a star to be displayed on a wall of fame at the centre. All contributions are used to pay for the final fixtures and fittings at the theatre’s extension on Westgate.

The new building aims to extends the theatre experience, encouraging performers and visitors to meet, eat, drink, entertain and enjoy.

Strata, with developments throughout Yorkshire and the East Midlands, was one of the first businesses to purchase a star. It is an ongoing corporate sponsor of the theatre.

Stephen Gillen, campaign manager for Strata, comments: “We are very proud to show our support for the Centre for Creativity. It’s an amazing space and will bring further opportunity and cultural diversity to the Wakefield district.

“With a number of developments throughout the area, it makes sense for us to support organisations that have such a positive impact on the local community.”

The star campaign has been backed by a number of businesses and individuals.
