Commission Us
Bespoke packages
Every project is unique and is shaped by its participants and the community around it. Our experienced team of staff and professional tutors can create bespoke packages delivering a range of specialist workshops in a variety of creative disciplines.
We deliver these directly in schools, local communities, partner locations and personal settings such as care homes. Pedestrian’s reputation has been built by its outreach workshops, but also offer our workshop spaces in the heart of Leicester city centre which is available for hire.
Delivery can be face to face, online and remote.
“I just wanted to a big thank you again for what was a great week of Concept last week. It’s great to see the programme growing each time, both in numbers and quality of work being produced. The young people are growing in skill and confidence and their feedback every time is very positive.”
Michael Higham, TACT Fostering
