Small class sizes, expert tutors, specialist facilities and a wonderful ArtsEd welcome make exceptional performing arts experiences for young people aged 5 to 16+
All our tutors combine teaching expertise with a wealth of professional experience, a mix that helps them bring out the best in every child . At ArtsEd we understand that every child is unique and we work hard to help every participant realise their individuality and reach their full potential. Whether with us at the weekend or on one of our holiday courses, participants are encouraged to explore their imaginations and their emotions, ensuring they develop confidence and creativity as well as performance skills.
Our weekend and holiday courses give young people the chance to spread their creative wings and channel their energy and emotions.
