Young People
Exeter Phoenix is proud to provide events and opportunities for young people.
We believe that every young person and child should have the opportunity to engage in arts and culture. Within our our programme you'll find events and activities offering young people the opportunity to express their creative side and explore where their talents may lie.
As well as hosting events, we pride ourselves on providing fun new experiences and opportunities, plus chances to meet like-minded young people. Activity includes workshops, creative classes, family-friendly films and theatre, child-friendly gigs, youth clubs and much more.
Through activities such as our weekly Freefall Youth Arts Group, Young & Animated club, and our Summer Film School, we are supporting the next generation of creatives by giving young people their first taste of the industry in action.

Help us make a difference
The creative opportunities and activities we provide make a real, meaningful difference to young people's lives and development. We know this because the young people we work with tell us!
When you buy a ticket, make a donation, or even stop and have a coffee in our Cafe Bar, you are helping us provide these opportunities. Thank you for helping us make a difference.
'For me, Freefall came at the most brilliant time. I was in a rough patch in my life and it was so helpful for me to have that creative outlet. The people I met during those two years have become my friends for life. George and Anna were so supportive with everything from art GCSE to giving us amazing experiences such as the Heritage Lottery Twitter take over and making a giant camera! I will forever be so grateful.'
