Valley Arts Celebrates 10 years of Building a Creativity Community.
Become a Friend for our Future and help us continue to change people’s lives.
For the past decade, Valley Arts has been a place where stories are told, friendships are formed, and creativity thrives. Together, we’ve built something truly special.
Now, as we look to the future, we need your support to ensure the arts remain at the heart of our community for years to come.
We have launched our new membership scheme, Friends for Our Future, and by joining, you’ll be part of a movement that believes in the power of creativity to connect and inspire.
Friends for Our Future
The arts are a perfect medium to address societal barriers, by bringing people together to share a collective experience. Exposure to different cultural influences inspires creativity, improves cultural knowledge. It is particularly important for young people in isolated rural communities, where opportunities for diverse cultural engagement are so limited.
Now, we need your support to keep creativity at the heart of our community for generations to come. Join our Friends for Our Future scheme and help us make arts and culture accessible to all. Your annual donation directly supports Valley Arts, bringing more performances, workshops, and creative opportunities to life.

Friends for Our Future
“Valley Arts is a fantastic organisation.
We know that arts have an invaluable role to play in connecting communities and improving mental well-being. These opportunities are especially important in more rural communities where isolation and lack of access to the arts is a long-standing problem. Here’s to another 10 years.”
Dr. Phil Hammond, writer, journalist, broadcaster, comedian and retired doctor
10 years in and Valley Arts has gone from strength to strength, it has proved positive of what a group of people can do, when they set about this marvellous project with determination and enthusiasm.
We have all sung, danced, laughed, wept and got involved in their amazing roster of performances, events and experiences.
The Valley Arts Friends Scheme is an opportunity for us all to show our appreciation and make sure that this thriving and valuable resource continues for another decade. Bravo Valley Arts, take a bow!
Sarah Mead, Creative Director Yeo Valley Organic, Long time patron of Valley Arts
