We use the arts as a tool to enable students to grow their personal development, cognitive and communication skills, and to achieve an overall sense of self-worth, pride, and confidence. All students choose a major subject to focus on when they join, and this currently includes drama, dance, music, creative arts, or film and media. To find out more whilst we are working on our website, you can download the prospectus below or you can email: enquiries@orpheus.org.uk
Host your event in our 17th Century Barn Theatre with all the facilities you will need for a great event.
Do you need to improve your understanding of disability in the workplace? Our experienced and qualified staff can help you.
Situated within the lovely rural gardens of the Orpheus Centre, the Arts Café is a student-led enterprise that caters to students, staff, and events throughout the year.

🏀 It was great to welcome our friends from Basketball4All to the centre during our Fresher’s Fair!
We’ve partnered with the charity for many years, who offer the students the opportunity to get active and involved in fun Basketball sessions. We’re very grateful to be able to include this in our extra-curricular activities schedule.
We’re thrilled that they had as good of a time as the students during their recent visit, saying that “we enjoy visiting Orpheus and meeting the new young people at the start of term”. ... See MoreSee Less

You could offer something decorative, wearable, edible; we even welcome you to hold a short masterclass for guests on how to craft something seasonal.
Interested? Let us know by sending an email to MeganRobson@orpheus.org.uk.
Deadline to confirm your place is end of October. In return for a space in the market, we please ask that you give a donation to Orpheus, which can be a portion of your sales on the evening. ... See MoreSee Less
We're very excited to be involved in this exhibition at The Lightbox in Woking, opening on 26 October.
Find out more below ⬇️OPENING SOON!
This Autumn, our Main Gallery will be reimagined as The Lounge – an inviting room at the heart of a home.
Created by multi-disciplinary artist Harold Offeh in collaboration with the community, the site-specific installation will encourage visitors to think about ‘home’ and what it means to each of us.
The Lounge is the first commission for W for Woking, a partnership between Lightbox Gallery & Museum and National Trust - Clandon Park that connects leading contemporary artists with members of the local community to consider what the area’s history means to people today.
For The Lounge, Harold Offeh has worked with students from The Orpheus Centre, young people from the Amber Foundation and volunteers from Lightbox Gallery and Clandon Park.
Together, they have explored the history of Clandon Park and the history of Woking and the communities who have made it their home. The Lounge is their collective response, taking inspiration from the past and reflecting the present.
Opening 26 October.

Free for Lightbox Members and Under 18s.
