In the Community

In addition to our venue-based workshops, The Courtyard works in partnership with other organisations to bring a wide range of creative opportunities to communities throughout Herefordshire.
Amongst a variety of activities, we run weekly Youth Theatre groups at Fairfield High School and Vowchurch Village Hall in the Golden Valley and at Kington Primary School in conjunction with Lady Hawkins Secondary School.
