Culture Start
Culture Start is an exciting programme designed to help as many children and young people in Sunderland as possible take part in free creative and cultural events. The programme is aimed at children and young people who may not have taken part in creative and cultural activities before, and we offer all kinds of opportunities for various age groups to get involved across the city, including term-time and holiday activities and regular clubs.
