Community and Education
Projects Bridport Arts Centre delivers an exciting year-round programme of participatory workshops for children, young people and adults, both in term time and as holiday activities.
In addition, one-off workshops are often programmed to complement theatre and gallery events. Working with local partners and professional artists, we aim to provide inspiration and enhance the quality of life of those living in West Dorset.
