Activate Performing Arts

Who we are

We connect communities. We breakdown barriers. We celebrate our landscape.

We pride ourselves on being open and working with others to make performing arts accessible for all.  

For over 30 years, we’ve been promoting, supporting and producing some of the most exciting events in the UK. We’re here to bring performing arts to as many people as possible. And give creatives the support they need to make outstanding work.

Our culture and values

We think live performance has the power to fire the imagination, uplift and connect us. It creates moments that touch the hearts and minds like nothing else. It makes memories that last a lifetime.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At the heart of what we do is a belief that performing arts should be accessible for all – no matter what your experience or background. We believe that diversity of thought, belief or background can enrich experiences for us all. We work with artists who are disabled and non-disabled and aim to reach the widest possible audiences. This may be by working in community settings, theatres, arts centres or in the natural environment.
