We have for many years reached out to young people and, with support from a range of valued funders, run workshops in many schools across Purbeck. Our young people benefit from the experience of our artists who lead these workshops and the opportunity to be creative, innovative and have fun! We will be celebrating their achievements in particular at our central exhibition area at Rollington Barn, near Corfe Castle. We are also a partner with The Swanage & Purbeck Rotary and the Purbeck Instrument Loan Scheme (PILS) in the charity Purbeck Youth Music (PYM) to encourage more young people to make music www.purbeckyouthmusic.org

By joining the Friends you will help us:

  • Maintain a quality Festival and attract international artists, some of whom run workshops and give talks that inform and encourage others
  •  Keep ticket prices low; young people can come to most of our events for just £2
  • Encourage all artists of all capabilities across our communities to work together

We keep Friends informed of our plans and send Newsletters so you can plan in advance. We also offer Friends advance notice and priority booking for events likely to sell out, such as the recital at Encombe House, and we invite you to special events, such as our winter programme of Chamber Music in Purbeck Homes.
