Children and Young People

“I really appreciate all you are doing, J loved it! There is so little on offer for kids with SEN, opportunities like this are like gold dust.”

Parent, of Pop Up Creative Workshops participant

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.
