A new creative hub in Rotherham town centre

FLUX Rotherham and WOW (Women of the World) Rotherham Year-Round have launched the new space at 34 High Street.

A spokesperson for FLUX – which is an Arts Council England Creative People and Places programme – said: “We hope it becomes a welcoming hub for individuals to come together for enriching discussions, engaging workshops, and delicious food.

“Every month, we will host a WOW Rotherham Supper Club that invites community members to enjoy a meal prepared by local cooks while shaping their own WOW moments in Rotherham.

This monthly event creates a safe environment for dialogue and collaboration, encouraging attendees to discuss, plan, and develop their ideas for the WOW Rotherham programme.”The first Supper Club event will take place on Thursday, August 15 from 6pm-8.30pm.

Tickets are required – book via www.tinyurl.com/FluxSupper.

The FLUX spokesperson added: “In addition to the Supper Club, we will offer drop-in workshops including poetry and creative writing, making and installations, designed to help participants explore their creativity.

“These free workshops are open to all, and we encourage people to visit us, learn more about our work, and engage in the creative activities.”

FLUX Rotherham was one of the partners behind the recent three-day UPLIFT urban youth festival in the town centre along with other organisations including Rotherham Council, Children's Capital of Culture 2025 and Rotherham Music.
