About us

Welcome to Children's Capital of Culture!

Our mission is to inspire and empower the young minds of Rotherham through a diverse range of cultural and artistic events. We believe that every child and young person deserves the opportunity to explore their creativity, develop new skills, and express themselves in a supportive and inclusive environment.
