The Broad Cloth

Step into The Broad Cloth, an enchanting storytelling journey that weaves communities together. Through theatre, art, craft, music, community gathering and the sharing of local wisdom, we bring to life a fictional island, shaping it with our imagination and collective creativity.

 

This island becomes a reflection of your unique community, crafted through guided processes that invite everyone to participate. The Broad Cloth is designed to give you autonomy over the manner and extent to which you get involved, as well as over your personal access support needs: we want this to be a comfortable experience.

 

We're bringing The Broad Cloth to islands along the British and Nordic coasts, and you can engage with the whole thing in person and/or remotely. It's a fantastic way to celebrate each unique place while weaving them all together into something truly special.

 

Join us in this one-of-a-kind adventure that celebrates the magic of island communities and their ways.
