Theatre Ninety Nine

Swan Samba is a Hampshire-based samba fusion drumming and movement band, proudly affiliated with Roynon Performing Arts since 2019. Our core aim is to provide accessible, enjoyable drumming experiences while supporting community wellbeing, fitness, cultural connections and musical understanding. Swan Samba have performed at events across the south including Wickham Festival, Winchester Hat Fair, Andover Carnival, Winchester Bonfire Procession and Eastleigh Mela as well as numerous appearances on TV and radio. We deliver workshops across a range of schools, community organisations and corporate retreats and welcome all enquiries!

We are a Community Interest Company producing creative wellbeing projects for young people, because we know that life can get messy. This includes one-off projects, ongoing collaborations and commissions with arts, youth and health partners, mentoring for over 16s, and weekly dance and sensory play classes for under 5s and their grown-ups. We raise funds to deliver specialist projects which support young people living with adverse childhood experiences, and to reduce social isolation for Parents/Carers supporting vulnerable young people. We work collaboratively with other sectors so that work can continue to support young people through the arts after our projects have finished. We work across Dorset and Hampshire. Please get in touch!

The Villagers are based in Gosport in Hampshire, and began life in 1986 with a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Little Woodham (‘The 17th Century Village’). Every year since we have put on an open air production of one of Shakespeare’s plays, in Little Woodham and – in recent years – elsewhere across Southern England. Our aim is to enjoy ourselves, and to share some of that enjoyment with our audiences.
