About enJOY arts

enJOY was founded in September 2011, on a key motivating thought: taking part in arts projects is FUN, and everyone should have the chance to experience that. For us, the power of the arts lies in their ability to uplift, empower and bring people together.

On this principle, enJOY arts was established, delivering enjoyable, engaging, impactful, accessible and inclusive sessions.

Specialising in creative projects with a wide range of community groups, with a track record of success in engaging those considered hard to reach who do not regularly access the arts.

We have a passion for working with women & girls of all ages & marginalised groups, exploring untold stories from our participants’ perspective.

We have particular expertise in creative heritage projects and site-specific performances in heritage venues, exploring untold or hidden stories from the past.

We love creating in unexpected places, with people who might not normally consider themselves performers!

My client recently went to a job interview. She said that the drama group had helped build her confidence and she would not have been able to deal with this in the past.
