Come and see what training at Chickenshed is really like.

Our Open Evening is your chance to explore the building, take part in a practical workshop and meet the tutors and students who make our courses what they are. Ask anything in our Q&A, then stay to watch Jekyll & Hyde.

  • Level 3 BTEC National Extended Diploma in Performing Arts Practice
  • Foundation Degree in Inclusive Performance
  • BA (Hons) Inclusive Performance (Top-Up Year)

It’s free. Just register your place below.

Your evening at Chickenshed

4.45pm — Arrive and say hello Come to our main entrance, where our team will welcome you, check you in and put you into a small group. It’s a relaxed start, so there’s time to settle in and meet a few friendly faces.

5pm — Get stuck in Your group will move around three short sessions across the building. You’ll take part in a practical workshop with our tutors, see the spaces where our students train and perform, and get your questions answered by the people who know the courses best: our tutors and current students. No experience needed. Just wear something comfortable you can move in.

6pm — Take a break An hour to relax, chat to students and staff, and talk over what you’ve seen.

7pm — Watch Jekyll & Hyde End the evening in our theatre watching Jekyll & Hyde, so you can see what our performers create on stage.

Around 9pm — Head home We hope you leave feeling inspired, and with everything you need to take your next step.

Running late? No problem. Just let us know when you arrive and we’ll take you straight to your group in the BA Workshop Space.
