Jumped Up Theatre creates opportunities for Peterborough to make, enjoy and celebrate arts and culture. We are particularly focused on live events and projects for children, young people and families. We also support local artists and support the delivery of Peterborough Cultural Strategy. And we also love to dance.
Our Vision: A world empowered by art and culture.
Our Mission: To create positive social change with Peterborough’s communities.
