Playful Heritage
Co-creating interactive experiences with partners and local communities to bring archives, museums, heritage sites and complex histories to life through play.
Our programmes
We make projects for wherever people meet, reaching our audience where they are. Our work ranges from immersive theatre in heritage sites, to smartphone adventures in the streets of a neighbourhood, or playful workshops in schools, offices or community venues.
Always offering people the choice of taking a meaningful part, our work covers six main areas:
Young People & Families
Play made for, by and with young people in and out of school, harnessing their creativity and empowering them to effect change in their communities.
Coney at Work
Support for businesses and organisations to spark positive change in their workplace, offering bespoke consultancy on making play for impact.
Towns, Boroughs & Neighbourhoods
Site-specific play made for, by and with the people of a place, together with local partnerships.
Play Everywhere
Innovative formats of interactive play to reach public audiences wherever they are.
Exchange
Sharing and developing our distinctive practice with makers, academics and wider networks through exchanges, mentoring, teaching and research.
