Today, Yeovil Town Council proudly flies the Red Ensign to mark Merchant Navy Day. ⚓

We remember the courage, dedication and sacrifice of the men and women of the Merchant Navy. On this day in 1939, just hours after Britain entered the Second World War, the passenger liner Athenia was sunk, resulting in a tragic loss of life.

Throughout the war, Merchant Navy crews played a vital role in sustaining Britain and its allies, delivering essential supplies across dangerous waters and supporting troops around the world. Today, we honour their service and the lasting contribution they have made to our nation's history.

The redevelopment of the Octagon Theatre will transform every aspect of the theatre, including the replacement/renewal of the plant, machinery and physical infrastructure of the building.

This means the building will operate more efficiently, save money and ultimately cost the taxpayer less. The physical infrastructure of the building will be greatly improved and expanded, meaning more space to enjoy all your favourite shows at the Octagon Theatre! 🎭
