Schools Partnerships

Through our partnership programme with schools and colleges, we can create a bespoke range of creative workshops, projects and activities to support all areas of the curriculum, wellbeing and after school activities alongside discounted rates for shows and performances.

We can support with Arts Award and GCSE Drama practical assessments as well as arranging theatre visits to learn about all aspects of working life and careers in the arts and theatre. For further information, please contact our Education and Outreach Manager, by emailing lindsey@thecorecorby.com

Adults

Bursaries

With thanks to the generosity of both the Travers Foundation and the Margaret Giffen Charitable Trust, we are able to offer our Core Create and Sparks sessions at a reduced fee of £50 (usually £80). We are also offering a sibling discount, so if you have two siblings taking part in activities, the termly fee for the second child/young person would only be £25.

For families living with financial hardship, we would not want the termly fees to prevent your child or young person being able to take part, so, with thanks to the Margaret Giffen Community Fund, we have a limited amount of free, bursary-funded places. Please email getinvolved@ thecorecorby.com for further information.

Core Community Panel

Your Theatre, Your Decisions! Are you interested in helping us to shape the future shows and activities that take place at The Core?

Could you spare a couple of hours every two months to share your ideas and give your thoughts on future show ideas at The Core? We would like to hear from a wide cross section of the community about the shows and activities you’d like to see in the future and we particularly want to hear from you if you think we are not doing shows and activities that are relevant to you and your community. The first community session meeting will be on Wed 24 May 6.30pm

To express an interest in getting involved, please contact joe@thecorecorby.com
