Thank you for visiting this page. We are a charity and our work would not be possible without charitable donations. Please consider helping us make Oxford a better place. 

“The work at the Old Fire Station is life-changing, and life-saving.” 

We are an arts centre in Oxford and we share our building with the homelessness charity Crisis. We work in partnership through Hidden Spire. 

We encourage people from all backgrounds to help shape and understand the world through stories, creativity and the arts, and through connecting with each other. In everything we do, we include people facing homelessness or disadvantage, support early-career artists and community groups and work collaboratively with local services to remove barriers to arts engagement. Each year, we deliver Offbeat, a performing arts festival of brand-new, genre-busting work, and Marmalade, a festival of social change and year-round enquiry into making services more human-friendly. We host theatre, art, dance classes, clubs and workshops, made accessible to all through subsidy. We believe in the power of the arts to create social change, and we’re working to make Oxford a more creative and equitable place for everyone. 

You can help.
