The Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre is thrilled to announce the return of Big Splash, Wales' largest FREE outdoor arts festival, and we're calling on the local community to join in the fun – whether by volunteering, performing on our vibrant community stage, or storytelling on our ‘Bards on the Bus’.
Described as “a slice of Covent Garden in Newport”, Big Splash is the perfect way to kickstart the Summer. With live music, street theatre, dance performances, workshops, crafts, and activities, this event is one not to be missed.
