Dress Circle of York was established in 2002 by Stephen and Jill Outhwaite in an empty barn on their farm in Haxby and was an immediate success. Over the next 20 years Dress Circle provided quality costumes and props for theatre companies and individuals across the UK and has become a well-known name in the industry. However at the start of this year Jill and Stephen decided It was time to enjoy their retirement and made the decision to sell the contents of Dress Circle through Ryedale Auctioneers.
