Children and Young People
“Elliott [Duffield] really values being involved in the Carousel House Band and considers it a high quality music project…he has grown immeasurably in confidence.” Francesca Duffield
Making art is fantastic fun and it helps us feel good, find friends and show the world who we truly are. Maybe you play an instrument and write songs, or want to be a film director like Edgar Wright. Perhaps you have a great voice for radio and a poem to share? Whatever your creative passion, Carousel can help you explore and develop your skills.
Through the year we’ll have arts events that you can get involved with in music, film, radio and digital arts.
From taster sessions and pop-ups, to longer-term projects longer term projects with lots of new things to learn, all our opportunities will be advertised here and on the relevant artform page so watch this space! Sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of the page to stay in touch.
