We have been delivering creative projects in schools for a number of years and can offer a bespoke service, tailoring workshops to individual project needs and budgets.  We can help deliver children’s holiday workshops and after school clubs, providing a menu of inspirational activities for children to choose from. See Schools & Education for more information.

Escape Arts can provide a wide range of community engagement workshops, creative consultation to specific arts and play workshops at local events and festivals. The use of our multi-media van enables us to deliver a wide range of multi-media, creative and heritage-based activities across the community.

Past projects have included:

Arts & Nature – two-year creative commission from Warwickshire County Council providing 6-week creative projects in beautiful outdoor spaces across Warwickshire.
Plastic Planet – impactful project led by Artist Ros Ingram working with 9 local schools who created sculptures of endangered animals out of recycled materials. These were on display in the former Debenhams windows on Stratford’s High Street to help promote positive messaging around climate change.
Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee - Escape Arts were commissioned by Stratford BID to deliver four days of creative community activities over the Platinum Jubilee weekend in 2022.

Creative Heritage Workshops Celebrating People & Place

At Escape Arts, we recognise the importance of celebrating our community through their stories and memories through the years. Escape Arts can be commissioned to undertake research, develop and curate exhibitions and undertake a range of heritage craft workshops and exciting community engagement events.

Past community exhibitions have included:

  • Warwickshire’s Land Girls – stories and memories of 9 local Land Girls working on the land during World War Two.
  • Yesterday & Today – a photography exhibition comparing pictures of Stratford up to 150 years ago to pictures today. This exhibition was reproduced and on display in the former Debenhams windows during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
  • Call the Midwife – stories and memories of local hospitals and maternity homes.
  • Stratford-upon-Avon History & Facts – developed in partnership with Stratford BID, Escape Arts community groups and volunteers provided 100 facts about Stratford which were displayed on planters around the town in 2023.
