Then come and see what they’ve created together…

We are delighted to announce our 2026 family Christmas show: Sprites!

In a forgotten corner, sprites are sleeping…

Their home is all but forgotten by humans - that is until Lina storms through. She’s had a rubbish day at school and just wants to be left alone. She has no idea that she’s about to encounter the sprites…

Follow Lina into the enchanting world of the sprites: sensory and full of surprises. Sit in our magical glade, hear a story from some unusual new friends, then get creative in our craft den - all whilst staying cosy and warm indoors.

A storytelling show with puppetry and music, from the producers of GRUE, perfect for children aged 4-9 and their families.

Made especially for small audience groups, tickets limited.

📍Scarborough Library

“We loved it, the kids loved it, the parents loved it”

What amazing feedback from a teacher involved in our New Shores project! We have now finished the second year of our schools project, and what a brilliant year it has been!

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped us bring Adventures in Learning to Scarborough schools this year. Thank you to our partners @kit__theatre and @englishheritage, to our funders @paulhamlynfoundation and @aceagrams , to all the incredible artists who worked with us, and finally to the teachers and school staff. Without your hard work and support, this project would not have been possible.

We’re taking some time now to pause, celebrate what we’ve achieved and reflect on everything we’ve learnt by working together. In the meantime, take a look back at all the exciting Adventures we’ve had this year… 

You can find out more about New Shores by visiting our website (link in bio)

Mud, imagination, and a little bit of magic! 

Thanks to funding from York City Council, we recently delivered a fantastic series of creative workshops for the pupils of Woodland Academy.

The adventure started at Stepney Hill Farm, where pupils explored the natural world, experienced new smells and tastes, and gathered materials. Under the expert guidance of @saranowellart , they used wattle and daub to craft their very own Hobgoblin heads! 

Back in the classroom, the creativity kept flowing. The pupils: 

🪺 Built cozy nests 
🦅 Sculpted original clay characters 
📝 Wrote unique storylines 
🎬 Produced their own incredible stop-motion films using their handmade scenes and characters!

Everyone had a brilliant time bringing their ideas to life. Swipe to see some of their creations! 📸

Our new Creative People and Places programme needs an ambitious and creative individual who can bring residents, artists and partners together and turn conversations into visible, joyful, high-quality arts activity. Someone who can create meaningful connections and the conditions for participation and is able to welcome everyone. 

You’ll be aware of the practical, physical and emotional barriers that can get in the way and you’ll support people to overcome them. You'll lead our community on a journey – from having a look, to coming along, taking part, making decisions and deciding what happens next.
