WHAT WE DO

We have four strands of our company, with collaboration at the heart of everything we do.

We know the buzz you get after a great live event and we want to bring more of that into the city and surrounding areas that we live in.

CREATE

We know the power of collaboration and how strong a united voice for the arts and culture scene in Bath could be.

CONNECT

We know how crucial experience, expertise and connections are when you’re putting on events, small or large, so we are here to offer our expertise!

CONSULT

We know the positive impact that arts and culture can have and want to share those experiences with as many people as possible.
