powering the arts across Northamptonshire

New Perspectives manages Northants Touring Arts, the rural and community touring scheme for Northamptonshire, curating a year round programme of theatre, music and live arts events and participatory opportunities, working with volunteer promoters throughout the county.

Northants Touring Arts provides access to high quality arts events throughout Northamptonshire. We support a network of voluntary promoters across the county to host a range of professional performances and workshops in villages bringing communities together where they live.

Alongside cultural benefits, the arts have a valuable role to play in enriching quality of life and developing community cohesion. Through Northants Touring Arts we enable communities to access a high quality and affordable live arts programme on their doorstep. Performances include theatre, music, dance, comedy, spoken word and events for families and children suitable for audiences aged 3 - 103yrs!

A member of the National Rural Touring Forum, Northants Touring Arts is supported using public funding by ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND, LOTTERY FUNDED and receives generous support from the Coop Local Community Fund.

Our productions are testament to the fact that rural theatre is as relevant, challenging and vital as theatre made for any other environment.
