Scratch Night At Exeter Phoenix

Scratch Night

We are offering artists the opportunity to take their new ideas a little bit further with support for their performance development during our regular Scratch Nights.

Thanks to our new Scratch Night partnership with Exeter Northcott, we will deliver four events in 2026, with two taking place at Exeter Phoenix (in February and December) and two taking place at Barnfield Theatre (in June and November).

The successful applicants will receive a rehearsal space, the opportunity to perform their work in front of an audience and £150 to support their practice, which they can use however supports them best.

The next Scratch Night will be taking place at Barnfield Theatre as part of Reclaim (a festival of work by women, for everyone) on Wed 17 Jun. The deadline for artists to apply is 10am on Wed 06 May. Application details here.

Alternatively, we are hosting Little Scratch sessions (at the end of each month - see link for upcoming dates) for artists who are not ready to share in front of a ticketed audience.
