The Tute CamboisCambois Creates is a new, two-year partnership between The Institute and performing arts company, November Club.
Our aim is to work together with the local community here in Cambois, North Blyth and East/West Sleekburn to create something really special and memorable in the area.
What that is and what it looks like is yet to be determined.

Here at The Institute we firmly believe that art and access to it can change lives. We endeavour to make all our activities free to anybody who’d like to participate in them because we don’t want any barriers to exist.
However we are aware some people would like to support us and give a contribution towards our rent and bills. So if you’d like to donate to us, please click the paypal button below! Thanks in advance!
We launched the Cambois Tales at the Gala 2022 – our new collection of short stories written by our very talented writers group!
Six new pieces of writing from local authors approach the theme of Cambois with joy and enthusiasm. If you’re from Cambois, you live in Cambois, you’ve driven through Cambois or you’ve never even heard of Cambois, there’s something for everyone!
Northern Lights toddler art and play group has been running since the ease of lockdown 2021, we meet every Wednesday afternoon 3-4 to play, chat and build friendships in the local community. We’re a really friendly group with different aged children who explore play, creativity, art and socialising in a relaxed environment. Children and their adults are welcome ages 0-5.
You’re never too young to be creative!
Email us if you’d like to join, typically parents join a whatsapp group where they can be kept up to date with what’s going on. This is free to attend.
For over a year now we’ve been running fortnightly writing groups. It’s a supportive little group of writers led by professional playwright Alex Oates. We start with an exercise then discuss a piece of writing advice before looking at the work we’re each working on.
We’ve each written a short story inspired by the area of Cambois, The Cambois Tales will be printed in 2022 as a fiction pamphlet and distributed to the local community.
We’re running a series of dance workshops for the local community in 2022. These are led by experienced dance artist Esther Huss and give an introduction to contemporary dance and how to express yourself through movement.
We’re over the moon with the uptake of these workshops and loving seeing the unique experience and qualities each participant is bringing to this one-of-a-kind group.
