Live and Local - Surprising Shows In Surprising Places
Welcome to Shindig!
Worcestershire’s Rural and Community Touring Scheme
Shindig’s Spring Season programme is full of great shows from January through to May. As always you’ll find a variety of high quality events for all ages and a warm welcome waiting. Please visit the What’s On section for full details of all our events and join our mailing list to keep informed about the latest shows, artists and special offers.
Worcestershire’s programme of live arts and entertainment for community venues is hosted by voluntary promoting groups who sell tickets locally. They are supported by the Shindig Scheme Co-ordinator, Live & Local Ltd, and your local authority arts officers.
Touring companies and performers with regional, national and international profiles provide a wide range of theatre, dance, music, opera, storytelling, cabaret theatre, circus and children’s theatre, including cultural diversity work. The work is often specifically made for small spaces.
Venues and Promoters
Shindig is nothing without its promoters and venues
The promoter is usually a voluntary group or organisation which takes responsibility for promoting the show, from choosing the artist, booking the venue, publicising the event, selling tickets, liaising with the performers and running the event on the night.
The venue is usually a village hall or community centre. It need not be state-of-the-art, though it does need some basics (toilets, heating, lighting etc).
If you think you have the people and the venue and want to be involved, please contact Live & Local on (01926) 402173 for more information.
