The Arts
Music Groups: choirs and orchestras love our OECs for the number of break out rooms, and large spaces to bring everyone together, indoors or outside!
We have previously brought young people to outdoor theatre productions with a master class for pupils to explore the author and play with the actors.
How about including in your programmes, sessions on Environmental Art?
