Aged 8-11 years?
Join us for a week-long creative adventure working with a team of amazing artists. Develop your skills in performance, art, sound and design - just 15 places available!

Over five days participants will create, design, rehearse and then perform a self-devised play!  Inspired by Earth Day, the focus will be on the environment and our place within it. 

You will work with our Arts & Theatre Learning Leader Poppy Rowley, Hastings artist and designer Rebecca Child, and Musician and Creator Bev Lee Harling to create your own stage performance in the Barn Theatre.

You will draw upon the items in the collection in John Bright's Museum and the things you make over the week will become part of the set for the show.

Dates

Monday 7 to Friday 11 April 2025
9.30am – 3.30pm (drop off from 9am / pick up by 4pm)
Performance for friends and family at 2pm on Friday 11 April

Practicalities

• We welcome all and endeavour to be accessible for everyone. Please tell us about your access needs when you book

Cost

£125 for the week

We don’t want cost to be a barrier to enjoying the arts. If this price prevents your child from taking part, you may request a Pay What You Can or Free Bursary place. Free places for those in receipt of free school meals or with an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan). Discounted bursaries will be considered for single parent families.
