Our Impact in 2025
A Landmark Moment
We Turn 40!
Since 1986, Sterts has transformed from a pig farm into a thriving arts and environmental centre. From a theatre company, to an amphitheatre, to our renewably powered Barn Theatre — powered by volunteers and a unique blend of nature and creativity.
To mark this milestone, we're recentring our founding purpose: to enable people to 'explore their own creativity and learning through doing'.
