  • New Hope SEND Arts Carnival and Celebration

    New Hope SEND Arts Carnival and Celebration

    An invitation from young artists to everyone in our community to enjoy FREE SEND-inclusive arts and food at our Carnival in the Park on Friday 21 August.

    Young people have been meeting at Friction Arts in SEND inclusive sessions since the start of the School Holidays to make art in different media. The Carnival of the Arts at New Hope Park is our chance to show you what we’ve made – and to invite you along.

    This is a free event with food – so please let us know you’re coming by filling in the form below. And make your way on the day to New Hope Community Park off Eyton Croft B12 0YT around 1pm. If you’re visiting from further afield, buses 8, 35, 47, 50, 4, 6 and X2 all stop not far away. If the weather’s nice it’s a 25 minute walk from Moor St or New St stations. Or you can find parking in the neighbourhood.
