Creative Programmes

Want to get CREATIVE?

We believe in the power of creativity, and the unique way in which this can allow self-expression and unlock young people’s potential. Each year we invite thousands of young people to take part in creative activities at our venues and in their communities, helping them explore, make and create.

No matter what your age, experience or ability, our programmes can bring you open up new opportunities, help build confidence and bring you together with like-minded people. Whether you're just getting started or you're an established professional, we can support you.

See below to find out all the ways you can discover your creativity or even develop it into a passion or a profession. Alternatively, if you are looking for ways to support young people's creativity then view our Creative Resource Hub.
