We tour shows to over 120 venues including village halls, libraries, churches and community centres across Kent, Sussex, and Essex, working with a network of local volunteer promoters. We carefully select exciting and high quality shows from dramas, puppetry and comedy to music, dance and spoken word, which offer audiences excellent live entertainment in their communities.
By working with us as an artist, you benefit from our range of services including tour date booking, contract and admin management, increased exposure in areas you may not usually be able to access plus promotion and marketing of your show and company to our supporters across the country.
How to get involved
Our latest Indoors Menu for 2026-27 gives you a flavour of the shows we are interested in touring and the types of work which suit rural locations.
If you have any queries about how to apply to tour with us in the future, contact programming@applause.org.uk.
Many families said thank you for a lovely show and someone said they found the storytelling/puppet making workshop to be wonderful to see, because every single child joined in.
