In celebration of the Theatre’s building 50th anniversary, we have handed over the keys to some of our future creatives, giving them the autonomy to create events for and by young people. CANVAS will be hosting a full day of birthday parties for all ages 0-25! Expect a lively mix of fun, hands-on workshops and crafts, plenty of party vibes and activities for everyone, plus free snacks to keep you fuelled. Best of all — it’s completely FREE!
Please note: each person will need their own booking for the correct age group.
Another part of our takeover day is all about offering opportunities for young people to present & perform on a professional platform with full support from experience arts professionals. Later in the day, don’t miss a powerful showcase created and performed by the young people of Derby. Expect an electrifying mix of styles, voices, and creativity as they take centre stage.
