Scratch Night at Elevate Festival

Join a vibrant mix of local theatre-makers, comedians, dancers, musicians, actors and clowns as they step out with brand-new ideas, near-polished gems and experimental moves. They’re inviting you to be part of the process (and the magic) by being an enthusiastic spectator for that first live run-through. Expect an eclectic, entertaining mash-up of fresh work-in-progress performances. This night is a crucial step for the artists and an unforgettable, left-field experience for the audience (that’s you!). It might be hilarious. It might be messy. It might be tender, weird, brave or unexpectedly moving. And you might just leave feeling energised, joyful and hugely inspired. A Scratch Night isn’t your typical evening out – it’s creative risk-taking at its finest and you can be at the heart of it.
