Loneliness Awareness Week

According to research by Marmalade Trust, 85% of UK adults have experienced loneliness in the last year.

At Northern Ballet we aim to create stories that connect, and experiences that bring people together through the joy of dance.

From being whisked away to new worlds by our main-stage ballets to enjoying behind-the-scenes talks and even giving ballet a go yourself, here are just some of the ways that you can meet new people, reconnect with old friends or even just enjoy your own company with likeminded peers.
