Family Friendly Activities

Pivot is Portsmouth’s first-ever Learning Disability Arts Festival — a bold, joyful and boundary-pushing celebration of creativity, inclusion and connection.

Over three inspiring days, Aspex Portsmouth will be transformed in a full-gallery takeover curated by the TNG Inclusive Arts Committee, a powerhouse group of 13 learning disabled artists. The festival showcases a vibrant mix of performances, participatory workshops, exhibitions and silent discos, all designed with accessibility at their core.

Paulsgrove ARK is proud to host it's first Community Chippy Tea!

Thanks to the wonderful support we've had from the Barchester Charitable Foundation and Blue Ocean Fish and Chips

Everyone is welcome to join us for a good meal and a chat with the best company, Paulsgrove residents!
