Southbank Centre: Your Space

We’re hosting a day of free taster workshops for young people exploring themes of imagination, freedom, nature, safety and self-expression. Each of these workshops are led by our Artists Advisory Collective, an inspiring group of artists we’re working with to imagine and shape the future of our Arts & Wellbeing programme for young people like you.

In 2026, we’re launching a new Arts & Wellbeing youth programme; a space for young people aged 11 – 25 to build community, learn new skills, and explore and experience the joy of the arts and creativity. So by joining us not only will you be enjoying a free day of creative fun, you’ll be helping to shape more events like this, for more people like you. 

Who is Your Space for?

These workshops are open to young people aged 11 – 19 based in South London; you're welcome to come as a group, with a friend, or on your own, just make sure everyone who's attending signs up.
