Events & Projects

We are delighted to have been awarded funds from The National Lottery’s Awards for All for a year-round programme of holiday and community activities. This funding will enable us to offer creative activities to support wellbeing and resilience in our community during the current crisis and beyond.

Visit our stories page to read about some of our activities in 2020 - continuing to support children and young people with creative oppportunities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sign up to our mailing list and we will let you know about our events and projects as they are announced.

Kitchen Circus

The Kitchen Circus project is an ongoing collaboration between three Bristol neighbourhoods and organisations, Travelling Light (Barton Hill), Cirque Bijou (Easton) and Knowle West Media Centre (Knowle West).

In autumn 2020, three families from in-and-around our neighbourhoods connected virtually with artists who specialise in storytelling, visual art and street theatre, to co-create thoughtful, play-filled time, investigating ideas and hidden stories which are built from the place we call home. The families worked with Megan Clark-Bagnall, Mike Akers, Megan Vaughan-Thomas, Leeza Awojobi and Grapevine.

The heart of this project is about creating time to form connections, think deeply and experiment with ideas and stories that want to be told. 
It seems more important than ever to allow families, artists and organisations to reflect on the importance of family, home and what it means to us as we move through the current crisis.

We caught up with artist Mike Akers and the family in Barton Hill to find out more about this project. Read our interview here.
