The Shakespeare's Guildhall Trust has been formed to retain St George's Guildhall as the working theatre it has been for almost six centuries, making it the oldest in Europe. Academic study of original documents has concluded that Shakespeare himself played there - certainly the players with whom was associated did.
Now this ancient building - the largest complete medieval guildhall in England - is in grave threat of being closed as a working theatre.
The trustees are determined that this will not happen. At the launch they will outline their plans to secure the future of the building as a working theatre and detail proposals for a thriving community arts centre in the complex in which it lies.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions - and get answers.
The launch will be followed by a showing of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by the King's Lynn Community Cinema Club.
