We’re back – and brighter than ever!
Arts Outburst is thrilled to present Get Creative Festival 2025 – a month-long celebration of
the incredible creativity thriving across Thurrock.

This May, we’re putting local talent in the
spotlight with a vibrant programme packed full of art, music, theatre, crafts, and more.
From inspiring exhibitions to hands-on workshops and unforgettable performances, there’s
something for everyone – whether you’re a maker, mover, shaker, or just here to soak it all in.
We’re championing local creativity in all its forms: artists, poets, musicians, performers,
creators… if you make it, we want to celebrate it!

Explore what’s on, discover how to take part, and join us in making this year’s festival the most
exciting yet. Whatever your age or interest, you’ll find plenty to enjoy.

So come and be part of it – let’s #GetCreative together this May!
