Courses and classes

Creating Carnival – Kendal Calling 2023 is an exciting professional development opportunity for freelance artists local to Cumbria and the surrounding areas to take the reins of the Kendal Calling 2023 procession.

Weaving together our heritage through a breath-taking Carnival procession in Tameside.

This is your invitation to join us in creating a special carnival performance as part of the Stalybridge Town of Culture and the Platinum Jubilee celebrations this September.

The space we work, create and celebrate in is forever evolving and the door is always open.
