QUICK - hide the biscuits from the camera 👀

We’re hard at work getting everything ready for the Christmas season, which today involves lots of meetings and planning with our friends at Illuminate FX and BlueSpot Productions

From staging to costumes, to equipment, we work closely with our suppliers and partners to ensure every detail in every single detail in every show or performance is perfect.

Their expertise, alongside our own is crucial in creating the spectacular performances you’ve come to know and love!

It’s not weird to us to be thinking of Santa in August… in fact, we’re full steam ahead (pardon the pun) in preparing for a Christmas show at

For the 5th year running, we’re excited to bring the magic of theatre to Severn Valley Railway's Christmas event! 🎄

We’ve created this panto especially for our friends at SVR and worked with them to consult, curate and direct a standout show that families can enjoy as part of their Christmas Train experience.

This photo shows last year’s cast but we are already busy behind the scenes now with our 2024 cast featuring our mischievous elves, Jingle and Jangle, as they return in Jingle, Jangle and the Great Christmas Mystery!

Expect thrills, spills, and plenty of laughs as we bring the festive spirit to life, featuring Father Christmas and a host of merry characters.

Will we see you there this Christmas? 🚂

WHAT A WEEKEND 📚🏰💼🎡🎪

We were lucky enough to experience as both work and play this weekend and we had the most incredible time.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in the tent - our favourite bit had to be receiving the feedback that: "it was so great to just be able to be creative in the moment, as a grown up there isn't much opportunity to do that usually" 🥹

While we were on stage at the festival, the other half of the ReachOut team were rocking their performances at !

We were really excited to be in Newport this week, for the Girlguiding Shropshire Camp ‘Elements’ 2024 event!

It was an amazing county camp celebrating Girlguiding in Shropshire with this years theme being earth, wind, air, and fire.

This event is a fantastic opportunity for Brownies, Guides, Rangers, and Young Leaders to experience outdoor residential life on a large scale.

We taught the group a fun exciting dance and singing routine and helped them to prepare for a grand campfire performance , where all girls came together to perform as one at the end of the final day! 🔥

It was not only a great chance to learn new skills and have a blast, but with around 800 girls participating, it was an unforgettable experience for both them AND us! Thank you for having us and we can’t wait to work with you all again soon!

Somehow these end of month ReachOut Roundups seem to be getting closer and closer together - it’ll be Christmas before we know it at this rate 👀

July was a really exciting month for us - with some ‘pinch me’ clients signing up to work with us, team playdates, lots of workshops and events, new flooring in the office and even some SUNSHINE!

We were absolutely devastated to hear the news of the incident in Southport yesterday.

As a company that proudly works in this industry and as parents ourselves it’s incomprehensible.

All our thoughts and love goes to those who have been affected.

Ever wondered how our characters come to life? Apart from the big man himself (shout-out Santa🎅) all of our characters are created in-house at ReachOut Arts!

Let’s take you behind the scenes of our creative process:

Once the character has been conjured and created from Gem & Sas’s creative minds..It all starts with just a doodle.

Saskia sketches out the initial character concepts, capturing every detail and nuance that makes our characters unique and enchanting. Throughout the creative process these may change, or be built upon but these first few sketches are super important as it is the first time they will see the character 'come to life'.

Next, our costume designer steps in to transform Saskia's drawings into reality. They carefully select fabrics, colours, and textures, ensuring each costume perfectly embodies the character’s essence.

Finally, the team breathes life into the characters!

At ReachOut Arts, it’s all about teamwork, creativity, and a touch of magic.

Ever wondered where the phrase "clean slate" comes from?

In the Roman era, people used wax tablets for writing!

Much like a fancy Apple pencil, tablets were written on with a stylus – one end was pointy for writing, and the other end was a flat spatula to smooth out the wax and start fresh. We tend to just use a hairdryer though…🖋️

They are quite possibly the most satisfying thing in the world to write on and we fight in this office over who gets the pleasure of warming it back up to smooth it back out 👀

As one of the kids has written on this one… Romans DO slay. 💁‍♀️

Chances are, if you’ve got kids or you work with kids…you’ve already come across Makaton without even realising it. Does Mr Tumble ring a bell? We all know the please and thank you song, right?!

We’ve worked hard this year to achieve our Level 4 certification in Makaton, with Cheska also working on her qualification now too!

Making our offerings inclusive for all children, was something really important to us and so we continue to learn and to build upon what we offer.

Had you heard of Makaton before you saw this post?

You know what’s exciting on a rainy Thursday afternoon? New client meetings!

We’re proud to be able to share that we’re working alongside Bristol Council to offer creative consultancy for the Bristol Museums!

We'll be working closely with their team in the coming months, to create events that will enhance their already jam packed family offering.

We can’t wait to explore all of the possibilities they have at all of the incredible museums across the beautiful city of Bristol.

Here's to an exciting new partnership 🤝

Have you heard about our Suitcase Storyteller? She's been traveling up and down the country, bringing stories to life for kids everywhere!

🌈 For Early Years and KS1 - Dive into a storybook with our Suitcase Storyteller using props, music, and drama. This isn't your standard story reading; kids become part of the tale as it unfolds!

🎨 For KS1 and KS2 - Discover the magic of creating a story using drama, art, and storyboarding. By the end of the session, kids will have crafted their own tales and will have plenty of spin-off ideas to continue working on!

🎓 Plus, everyone gets a certificate to celebrate their hard work! (We’ll send it to you, you just need to hit print!)

Workshops start at £150, with an option to purchase discounted signed copies of our ReachOut books, "The Magic Easel," by directors Gem & Saskia.

We also offer Makaton-friendly storytelling workshops suitable for various ages and educational settings!
