A WAREHAM based special effects company has received a grant of £235,000.00 from the Government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund to help the organisation recover and reopen. More than £300 million has been awarded to thousands of cultural organisations across the country including Twins FX in the latest round of support from the Culture Recovery Fund, the Culture Secretary announced at the Easter weekend. Twins Worldwide Ltd, who trade as Twins FX, has provided spectacular theatrical effects for a host of pantomimes, as well as large scale visuals for Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, Strictly Come Dancing and Britain’s Got Talent.
Arts, culture and heritage organisations in Dorset will share in a funding lifeline of more than £3 million. The funding, from the second stage of the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund, is designed to help organisations recover from the pandemic, start to reopen and continue to serve communities into the future. Performing arts venues including Weymouth Pavilion, Bridport s Electric Palace, The Lighthouse in Poole and the Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne will benefit from funding through the Arts Council as well as dance and combined arts organisations, many of whom specialise in outdoor arts such as Dorchester-based Activate Performing Arts and Portland s b-side festival.
