ABOUT US

Over the last two years Alibi, a South West-based Arts organisation since the early 80s, has been through a period of transition which has seen it reinvent itself as a venue for children and young people, welcoming 1000s of families, school children and members of our community through its doors. Our vision is of

“A place where all children can explore their creativity and imagination, in a world where everyone understands the importance of creativity and imagination to happy, healthy and fulfilling lives.”

In 2024 we threw open the doors of our base, Emmanuel Hall, an old Church Hall in the heart of St Thomas in Exeter. The building has been reimagined into a Centre for the Imagination for Children and Young People and over the last 12 months we’ve hosted performances, workshops, live music and an actual live, immersive, pine tree forest…

Our Mission is to create playful, safe and inclusive spaces where children can explore their creativity and discover themselves and the world in imaginative ways. Through live performances, engaging experiences and hands-on activities, we provide families, schools and communities with creative ways to inspire and empower their children and young people. We’re here to celebrate the power of imagination and champion the importance of creativity in children’s lives. 

We work closely with schools, both locally and throughout the South West, and are committed to ensuring we reach all children regardless of their means and possibilities.

Since the beginning of 2024 Emmanuel Hall has become the home of the St Thomas Library and of Zero Mile CIC, who are taking over the outside spaces and transforming them into community growing areas.

This is a really exciting time in the development of Alibi as we move closer to unleashing the full potential of our glorious old Church Hall. The successful candidate will be joining a small, busy and dedicated team striving to make something extraordinary happen in the city.
