What the charity does

Established in the 1930s as a philanthropic educational project, Oval House developed as a specialist arts centre in the 1960s, maintaining a strong educational core to the work while establishing an identity as a seed-bedding space for some of Britain's most cutting edge new artists. The work falls into three areas, of equal policy priority:Theatre, Youth Arts and Arts in Education.
