About Brent Young Makers

Unlocking creative potential.

In November 2023, we invited ten young people aged 18-25 living in Brent the chance to get hands-on experience in scenic arts, carpentry, or props and set dressing. They were part of a team currently transforming a 3,000 square foot warehouse in Wembley into an immersive arts space for the Brent community. 

For this paid opportunity, we sought people not currently in education, employment or training. They worked directly with Punchdrunk Enrichment carpenters and designers, gaining a practical insight into our immersive theatre practice and gaining valuable skills.
