CURRENT PROJECTS
COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS & EVENTS
The Creative Seed facilitate over 1000 classes and events each year, mainly from its Sunderland hub, Carnival House.
From the humble beginnings of only being able to host community support events during COVID, there is now a varied programme on offer, including fitness classes, dance parties, craft sessions and so much more.
As well as baby, toddler and afterschool activities during term time, Carnival House organises a number special events every school holiday, such as magic shows, character breakfasts, and special film screenings
There are plenty of things to do for adults besides classes too, with clairvoyant nights, comedy shows, live theatre and many novelty events regularly being brought to Southwick. That's not forgetting our famous "Paint & Plonk" evenings, putting paintbrushes into the hands of slightly tipsy amateurs since 2020!

POP UP GALLERIES AND ALTERNATIVE MARKETS
Carnival House is also host to our popular pop-up art galleries and alternative markets, along with the Old Library.
Our galleries are comprised of fantastic artwork from local artists that has been chosen by The Creative Seed team.
Our monthly craft markets provide a space for artisans and entrepreneurs to sell home made goods, crafts, and art projects, as well as giving the community a time to come together and buy some beautiful unique pieces for their homes. We have also began to put on alternative night-time markets, for all things weird and wonderful.
PRIVATE HIRE
As well as our own events, our venues are just as equipped for private hire.
Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, wedding, staff night out, or any other reason to celebrate, we can provide the perfect party vibes for any event!
DJ, food & drink, and special event packages available. Get in touch with our team at events@carnivalhouse.co.uk to enquire!
