Out There Arts is an independent arts development charity that is based in Great Yarmouth, but collaborates with artists worldwide. We are dedicated to delivering outstanding opportunities for artists and communities through supporting, hosting, and delivering circus and street arts projects and events.

The Drill House is our home, engine room and a multi-tool asset in enacting our cultural vision for Great Yarmouth and a National Centre for Outdoor Arts and Circus. Formerly home to the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Norfolk Regiment, we adopted it in 2012 and have turned it into a true cultural powerhouse through various capital projects over the years.

Throughout the year, we work on a number of projects, sometimes intimate, sometimes immense – but always inspirational!

Much of this work is showcased each year at the Out There Festival. Produced by Out There Arts, Out There is now the region’s largest free festival of street arts and circus and regularly attracts audiences in excess of 60,000 people.

Our focus on Circus and Street Arts grows naturally from this great Yarmouth’s rich performance heritage, providing an accessible medium to support our work. We deliver an arts development function for Great Yarmouth Borough Council, developing the town as an International Centre of Excellence for circus and street arts creation, training and delivery.

Implantée à Great Yarmouth et active à l'échelle internationale, SeaChange est une association caritative indépendante, qui œuvre en faveur du développement des arts. Elle cherche à offrir des opportunités  aux artistes et aux communautés à travers le soutien à l’accueil et à la diffusion de projets et événements spécifiques aux arts du cirque et aux arts de la rue. SeaChange dirige « le Drill House », un centre de création international proposant des résidences à des compagnies créatives ainsi qu’à des artistes issus de tout horizon. Ce centre, flexible dans sa structure comme dans sa fonction, est une référence pour diverses activités communautaires; il dispose entre autres d'un espace événementiel ouvert à la location. Au cours de l’année, l'équipe travaille sur de nombreux projets, aussi bien sur des formats intimistes que de grande envergure – mais toujours inspirants ! Une grande partie de ce travail est présentée chaque année lors du Out There International Festival. Produit par SeaChange, Out There est désormais le plus grand festival des arts de la rue et du cirque gratuit de la région, et attire régulièrement jusqu’à 60 000 personnes.
