Next year West Yorkshire Playhouse will open a brand new arts space in Leeds dedicated to young people. Facilities will include large visual and performing arts studios. Activities there will encourage young people to discover new talents and interests whilst providing practical support and opportunities for gaining qualifications and careers guidance.

First Floor will:

• be for all young people aged 12 to 25
• operate during the school day, evenings, weekends and holidays
• offer sessions during the day for young people not engaged in school
• offer ‘drop in’ and taster activities as well as accredited courses
• help young people who are at risk
• make a massive difference to young people’s lives
