THE Citadel Arts Centre has been given a cash boost after winning £60,000 of lottery funding .

It is planned to use the windfall to fund a range of youth-orientated activities, including a Youth Theatre, a Saturday Arts Club and weekly workshops.

A summer school will also provide a range of artistic projects including music and drama.

And running alongside these will be a number of one-off 'master classes' led by visiting companies or guest artists from the main house programme.
