Applause Programming Lead Sally Lampitt said: “We’re pleased to announce our first edition Indoor 2026 Menu selection with some great shows on offer. It’s really important that we choose shows that will appeal to rural communities and encourage people to use their local village hall or community spaces. We’re looking forward to working with new and our regular hosts to promote these fantastic shows across the south east.”
