"The reason for the leaf is that Lawrence Batley Theatre is very special to us, we met there, we work there, it’s allowed us to grow as people and together. The leaf is so we have a constant visual at the place we love."

"I was delighted to support the theatre knowing one of the leaves on the beautiful tree will live on in Huddersfield for many years to come. Thank you Lawrence Batley Theatre for the wonderful opportunity to do such a special thing."

"When I was about 5 years old a new library was to be built in our town. My Dad bought a brick engraved with our names on as part of the fundraising campaign. Last year, I got a leaf from Lawrence Batley Theatre and put the names of my two little girls on it. When I showed Penny who is 3 last Christmas she walked around the building with a big smile like she owned the place. Well... maybe she does... just a teeny tiny bit of it."
