In 2023, our Pitch-up events will focus on helping artists & venues connect over new projects taking place with a more regional focus. We’re pleased to announce this autumn’s Pitch Up event will be hosted at Portsmouth Guildhall. Whether you are an artist looking for rehearsal spaces, a venue looking for arts partners or a company looking to grow touring connections in this area make sure you get involved.

What is Pitch Up?

Pitch Up is an in-person event which provides a platform for venues and artists to pitch ideas, providing space for new partnerships to emerge. By having both venues and theatre-makers pitch what they have to offer and what they're looking for we aim to foster a more collaborative and open approach than traditional pitching events.
