Creative Arts East Live!

Rural And Live Performance

Our Live Performance scheme enables volunteers in rural communities to host outstanding professional performances in their village hall or local community venue. Hosting these events gives people living in these rural communities the chance to experience national and international arts and culture on their own doorstep, without having to venture into larger towns and cities to do so. Experiencing live performance brings rural communities together through shared enjoyment, emotion and wonder, helping to improve wellbeing and combat isolation within these communities.
