Cradley Heath Creative is a group of artists and performers whose aim is to help people discover the arts that are practiced around Cradley Heath and surrounding areas, and at the same time realise their own creative interests. We meet regularly at the Holly Bush Arts Pub.

Look out for our new programme, Oss Box Unbridled, which takes our Oss Box - a horse trailer converted into a mobile arts venue - out and about. Oss Box Unbridled is supported by Arts Council England.
