Sophie Crocker - Programme Co-Director (Maternity Cover), Culture Within Newham

“Culture Within Newham commissioned Learning Stages to deliver our headline summer 2025 event, Jamboree in the Park. The Learning Stages team were professional, friendly and proactive throughout the entire process. Having been commissioned at short notice, the team worked closely with our panel of local residents to shape the event, run open calls and select the artistic programme. On the day itself, Learning Stages were well organised, smoothly managing the event from start to finish. Over 1,500 residents attended Jamboree in the Park and feedback was really positive - in no small part down to the hard work of the Learning Stages team!”

Learning Stages designed an excellent process for mentoring and supporting our local talent contestants, while delivering a high-quality technical production that created a fantastic experience for both performers and audiences alike.”
