YouthFest 2025
A FREE dance festival created for young people, by young people!
Join us on Saturday 1 November for our free one-day festival celebrating dance, the arts and Ipswich’s vibrant and every-growing creative community. Whether you’re a dancer, visual artist, musician or just someone who loves to create, YouthFest 2025 has something for you. Immerse yourself in live performances and practical workshops that explore dance alongside other art forms. Or come along to enjoy the positive energy that comes from simply moving your body.
“It was really fun, and I loved the new experience. I haven’t done dance before and I wasn’t sure it was for me, but I love it.” – YouthFest participant 2024
It is also a great chance to connect with like-minded creatives from the local area, all within the welcoming and inspiring environment of the Jerwood DanceHouse. Everyone is welcome to get involved.
Look out for the full line-up and programme on the DanceEast website.

YouthFest is created and produced by the Young Producers at DanceEast and is shaped by the ideas and voices of young people from our community. Read the Young Producers' bios on our website.
