Are you curious about performance? Passionate about the environment? Do you want a safe space to develop your skills with like-minded people?
The New Creatives is a free programme for young people in Peterborough who want to create exciting events and projects about the environment with professional artists.
We meet weekly from October to May, working together on exciting projects that tackle local environmental issues. It's a fun, supportive space to build your skills, share ideas, and make real change through art, performance, and more.
New for 2025/26, we're offering two pathways for young people to get involved in New Creatives: the Youth Programme (ages 14-19) for those interested in creativity and performance, and the Young Leaders programme (ages 20-24) for those who want to learn how to lead and facilitate creative sessions.

Term-by-term commitment means you can try it for one term and decide if you want to continue. No pressure to stay for the whole year, although you're very welcome to!
