Curtains Up! is Creative Arts Holiday run by a fantastic team of volunteers for Scripture Union in the UK.

During the 6 night residential event in the summer we run workshops on Backstage, Creative Writing, Dance, Drama, Film, Music, Music Theatre and Visual Arts

Our aim is to provide a fun and safe environment for people to explore their gifts in the arts and their personal relationship with God. We have got a fantastic team of volunteers who come and give their time (and pay to come!)

Curtains Up! is a Scripture Union Holiday

Scripture Union staff and Volunteers work in more that 130 countries to make God’s Good News known to children, young people and families. Scripture Union’s Work in Britain includes schools work, missions, family ministry, helping Christians to read the bible and supporting the church through training and resources.
Scripture Union has been running holidays for more than 100 years.
