About The Cresset
The Cresset is a multi-purpose venue in Bretton, Peterborough, hosting live music, comedy, theatre, family entertainment and pantomime. It also runs a pub and restaurant, a performing arts programme for young people, and a range of shops and services within its building.
Customers include theatre audiences, people booking events, weddings and parties, corporate clients, and community and charity organisations, which receive free or discounted rates. The Cresset is a subsidiary of YMCA Trinity Group, is self-funding and is not funded by the local authority or any other public body; year-end profits go back into the charity's work with young and vulnerable people.
The building was officially opened by HM The Queen in 1978 as a community complex, and the company is registered in the UK with a founding date of 1982. It is based in Peterborough and works with around 2,000 young people a year through its performing arts programme.
