We had such a wonderful day at Pop-Up Unwrapped at the weekend!

A huge thank you to all of our fantastic performers, talented stall holders, dedicated staff and volunteers who helped make the day such a success.

Most importantly, thank you to our incredible audience. It was wonderful to see so many people joining us to enjoy live performances, creative activities, and plenty of festival fun in the sunshine.

As part of The Point's 30th birthday celebrations, Pop-Up Unwrapped was a brilliant reminder of the power of arts, culture, and community to bring people together.

From The Point to New York City… and back again!

As part of our 30th Birthday celebrations, we're delighted to welcome Matthew Westerby Company to The Point for a special day of contemporary dance workshops on Wednesday 8 July.

Artistic Director Matthew Westerby's journey began right here in Eastleigh. Originally from Gosport, Matthew attended a grant audition at The Point in 1997, helping him secure a place at Laban Centre London before going on to build a successful dance career in New York City and establish his own internationally recognised company.

Now, nearly 30 years later, Matthew returns with his company to share their creative process through inspiring workshops featuring contemporary technique, partnering, improvisation and ensemble work.

Whether you're an experienced dancer or looking to develop your practice, this is a unique opportunity to learn from a company performing on international stages.

Book your place today.
