The Garage, located in Norwich, is a hub for performing arts, a creative playground – from first steps to professionals. We work with local and national partners to provide high quality performing arts programming, participation, education and training for all ages. It is a place for everyone but has a particular focus on young people from all backgrounds.

The Garage operates year round, in theatre, dance, music and fitness. This programme of activity includes:

Weekly regular classes

Outreach and holiday activities

Participant led performance companies

Accredited education courses

Artist Development Programme

Incubated and associate professional performance companies

Presenting small scale theatre and dance performances

Producing and Co-Producing great new pieces of performance for young audiences

The charity has a strong emphasis on engaging those who face challenging circumstances and use the arts as an intervention. We work particularly young people and their families and use the arts to change their lives.

We operate two sites, one in Norwich and one in King’s Lynn. Alongside our charity and intervention work we run weekly regular performing arts classes, qualifications from GCSEs and HNC in Performing Arts, as well as programming live performances for young audiences in our theatres.
