Tide Nor Time Players CIC has joined forces with Carisbrooke Castle Museum and the Isle of Wight Council to set up a young people's performing arts group.

Targeting individuals aged 13 to 19, it aims to create an inclusive performing arts community steered by the young members themselves.

These youngsters will be given full rein in choosing performances, managing stage setup, directing, and handling budgets.

Professional mentors and supervisors will guide participants in gaining experience and developing a range of skills in performing arts.

Diversity, inclusion, and encouraging artistic expression are part of their mission.

The group aims to become a safe space for youths of various experience levels to explore artistic creativity and build confidence.
