The programme is a rich mix chock full of UK and World Premieres and new creations, including many Out There Arts co-productions created through residencies here at the Drill House in Great Yarmouth. The festival is also spreading out across space and time. We are working with local communities and partners, Freshly Greated to produce a series of ‘Stirrings’ across the week followed by the town centre festival kick off on the Friday night. There is a huge weekend programme spread across town including our growing seafront programme supported by Visit Great Yarmouth. On Saturday Night French legends ‘Les Commandos Percu’ will process from the park to the beach for ‘Silence’ –their incredible percussion and pyrotechnic spectacular. It’s a fabulous edition and entirely free to the public so make the most of it – you may need more than one day here to do that.

edition of Out There! We were all hugely moved by the incredible audience response to last year’s festival. We were one of the very few large festivals in the UK to be able to go ahead in full form in 2021 during a very challenging year and this year we are delighted to present the festival in what we hope will be something more akin to ‘normal’ circumstances.

Out There Arts recognises we are facing a global climate emergency. We are putting measures in place to help us be more environmentally responsible across all aspects of our organisation and the events we deliver.
All of our pitches are powered by a renewable mains source. We have formulated Sustainable Trading Standards for all Artiststallholders.andstaff catering will be completely plant-based (100% meat, fish and dairy free). We are using ecolibrium’s Travel Carbon Calculator for all domestic and international artists. We have programmed shows focusing on environmental change. Be sure to check out Adrenalism (p6) and Peter Sweet & Leonie Baker – Tiny Colossus (p26). We use a local provider, Blackwell Print, who offset our printing by planting trees.
Enjoy a drink at the Festival Bar with our renewable cups. Use our water refill stations to help reduce plastic waste. Where possible walk or use public transport to attend the festival. You can also consider joining our Travel Sharing Facebook Group
