"Well organised, I felt at home after a few seconds of anxiety. It was perfect."
Keeping up the momentum after March's massively successful open stage, Creative Together are again set to host Manchester's most accessible and inclusive daytime event - Owt On Stage.
Taking place at Manchester's iconic live music venue Band On The Wall, Owt On Stage is an opportunity for you to sing, dance, tell stories, recite poetry or perform in whatever way you choose.
"On event day we found it was a fantastic experience and one where the organisers were professional and put on a wonderful show of different talent."
For those of you who don't want to perform, there will be plenty of space for you to sit and watch the variety of talent taking the stage. Band On The Wall are running an alcohol-free bar, and the venue and it's facilities have completely step-free access, including to the stage itself!
"Everyone who performed was so inspiring!"

Creative Together is a coproduction hub. Our members asked for a more inclusive performing space. Most open stage events are in the evening which can be intimidating. Mostly because we believe in bringing people together to learn about each others' differences to reduce bias.
Creative Together is a gift to the community from, the not for profit provider of support, Creative Support. Anyone can apply to join, if we are a good fit for your needs you are most welcome. We welcome people who want more social interactions and to be part of something meaningful.
