VENUES, INTERVENTIONS AND EVENTS
Creating award winning events and venues since 1997, we specialise in community building, cohesion and understanding, with interventions often challenging people's perceptions and asking how opinions are formed.

Discussion Festival
Feburary 2021 - Ongoing
Discussion Festival is a weekly online event where people come together in the lounge area of the Fourth Portal Pavilion and hop around many different tables hosted by artists, academics, engineers, crafts people and club and business owners to discuss a wide range of topics. It's fun and dynamic, and nothing like Zoom or Clubhouse.
Catch The Tide
January 2020 - Ongoing
Catch The Tide is a manifesto for Great Yarmouth by Gillian Harwood, the joint-founder of Busworks, a business incubator company that provides small organisations with low cost space to establish their enterprise. The manifesto formed part of the pandemic aborted attempt to develop some projects in Great Yarmouth during 2020-21.
The Tights Ball
2013 - 2015
This powerful project uses the most innocuous, gentle and pretty of clothing items, tights and stockings, to encourage people to reconsider waste and recycling. Using techniques borrowed from advertising, this bright, fun, humorous endeavour draws in the audience to happily engage before exposing how easy it is to be fooled into thinking that the small things don’t matter or make little impression on the planet’s environment.
