About the Professional Programme
A prime opportunity for the outdoor arts and circus sector to network and let loose.
The Out There Festival will be taking place Thursday 28th May, Friday 29th May and Saturday 30th May at The Drill House, Great Yarmouth, NR30 2LZ, UK.
Let’s celebrate the outdoor arts and raise a toast to it’s burgeoning future in Great Yarmouth – home of the National Centre of Outdoor Arts and Circus
It’s a busy afternoon of coming together to discuss & debate and connect & chew the fat (and our signature delicious food!)
