Featured Events
Current - The Art of Salisbury River Park
The Current: The Art of Salisbury River Park exhibition, hosted by the Young Gallery, celebrates the new, permanent artworks that have been created for the Salisbury River Park, which aim to reconnect the city with the river. A visit to the exhibition will help residents and visitors alike gain a deeper understanding about how the arts programme has developed, and the stories and inspiration behind the artworks, particularly the very special biodiversity found in and around the river Avon.
Jane Austen’s Persuasion
Too many characters and not enough actors will see this much-loved Austen novel brought to life in a comedic and potentially hat-astrophic production. In a similarly choreographed, character-swapping style to our critically acclaimed productions of The Importance of Being Earnest (2018), The Three Musketeers (2020) and A Comedy of Errors (2022), audiences will love this truly unique adaptation!
Patch's Parade
Patch is a giant who lives beneath Milford Street Bridge and is very, very shy. Patch loves looking at the wonderful murals painted on the walls but dreams of venturing out into the exciting city of Salisbury to meet other giants.
This isn't going to be any ordinary Sunday though...music is playing, there are dancers in the street and with help from Penguin, Patch feels brave enough to step out on a big adventure.
City Encounters
A special Spring Bank Holiday treat for all the family. The city comes alive with professional, original street theatre, dance, music and circus performances that will delight all ages. There will be craft activities and fun for all the family.
