Flashback 1 week to BYT’s Fright Night 👻🎃
A spooky sleepover filled with terrifying tales, scary snacks, and plenty of Halloween fun 🕸️

Same again next year?...

29/10/2026

Last week marked the end of an era for BYT as we said goodbye to our beloved Jake as he embarks on a new adventure in the arts🧡

Jake began his BYT journey 16 years ago as a (very) young participant, which grew to volunteering into his teens, and eventually becoming a valued part of the BYT team working on front of house, operations, finance, leading workshops, directing a piece, and stage managed touring shows (to name a few...).

He will be deeply missed by us all at BYT but we truly wish him the best as he goes forward in his career at Z-Arts, and we are sure that he will never be a stranger!✨
