A Feast for Local People!

Appetite’s mission is to get more people in Stoke-on-Trent and the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme to experience and be inspired by the arts. Appetite works with a range of local and national artists and communities to deliver an expanding menu of artistic projects to develop people’s appetite for the arts!

From large outdoor circus spectacles and stunning outdoor projections to transforming empty shops into creative spaces, Appetite has brought a feast of family-friendly, breath-taking cultural events in places and spaces across Stoke and Newcastle.

Discover more about what Appetite is up to by visiting their website.
