This summer, we’re planning something new, something bold - and something we hope will become a highlight for Plymouth and the wider South West. For the first time, we’re working with the Quad Theatre and the Marjon campus to bring a brand-new summer festival to life.

From its very first steps, Family Dance has been about connection - bringing people together through movement, creativity, and joy.

Whether you’re brand new to performance, getting back into it after a break, or ready to push your skills even further, Barbican Theatre’s refreshed Adult Creative Classes are here to help you explore, connect, and grow—wherever you're starting from.

This autumn, Barbican Theatre Plymouth is excited to relaunch its refreshed programme of creative classes for young people aged 8+.

This is the time of year, when we’ve collected all our data and stories, we take a look back on the difference we have made in the previous year. We’re proud to share some of the incredible moments and milestones that shaped the year (2024-25). From packed-out shows and national touring to grassroots community work and new creative beginnings, the year was one where energy, ambition and connection have reset the rhythm of Barbican Theatre.
