The Creative Spark

Working Together for Young People’s Access To Arts, Culture & Heritage  

The Creative Spark brings together artists and arts organisations, educators and community leaders, young people and stakeholders, to drive forward change in the provision of arts, culture and heritage for young people, aged 0-25, in Peterborough. 

The Creative Spark will provide you with inspiration and shared learning, opportunities to network and build partnerships, space to reflect on challenges and solutions, refreshments, and bursaries for expenses for unfunded and youth attendees. 

The Creative Spark started in Spring 2025. It’s a series of five free gatherings, hosted by Jumped Up Theatre and funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
