Discover the creativity in your community

The Meeting Place is a new participatory arts project designed to inspire, nurture and celebrate grassroots creative talent in the Forest of Dean.

Through a series of artist-led creative performance workshops in locations across the Forest, this exciting project offers local people the opportunity to explore and engage with a wide range of expressive art forms - from dance and drama to songwriting and spoken-word poetry. They are completely free and are open to anyone aged 15-115 with an interest in creative arts - no previous experience required!

Participants will be invited to share any work they create during the project at a live showcase event, being held as part of Coleford Music Festival in July 2022.

Get involved

Workshops will take place during May and June 2022 in community venues in Cinderford, Coleford, Bream, Lydney, and Mitcheldean. Workshop locations and dates are as follows:
