It is with deep sadness that the Warminster Athena

It is with deep sadness that the Warminster Athenæum remembers the life of our talented technician, Teilo How, who has tragically left this world too soon. Teilo grew up in, and had a profound love for our theatre.
Teilo’s energy and contributions touched countless lives within the Theatre Community. In his memory, a Book of Remembrance will be available in the Athenæum Gallery Room, where everyone is welcome to share their thoughts and memories.
We understand that some may wish to leave flowers. In lieu of this, Teilo’s family is planning to set up a fundraising platform to honour his name and support initiatives for young men’s mental health.
A light has gone out in a truly creative soul.
If you are affected by Teilo’s loss, we encourage you to seek support from local charities specialising in mental health and grief:
• We are Men - https://www.facebook.com/WAMWeAreMen/
• Open Door Chat Café - https://opendoorwarminster.org/
• MIND Frome - https://www.mindinsomerset.org.uk/
The Athenæum is open every Monday to Saturday between 10:30am am to 12:30pm.
