BlueJam Arts CIC is an innovative community music and arts organisation based in Penrith, Cumbria.
BlueJam Arts Space, Mostyn Hall, Friargate, Penrith CA11 7XR
At BlueJam Arts Space we run a full programme of creative workshops using music and art to foster wellbeing, mental health and community engagement. Our team learns as well as teaches and welcomes all the people and new ideas that come through our door and make the place what it is – friendly and inspiring.
Moving into 2026 we will continue to explore how folk music weaves into our Early Years, wellbeing and events programme, developing our jazz offer, and supporting our growing group of young adults in film, composition and poetry collaborations. Our Samba and Street bands continue to be massively popular.
Improvisation continues to be at the heart of everything that we do from designing projects to creating our poetry garden, keeping our Arts Space sustainable and finding the resources to keep going.
Do get in touch if you’d like to hear more about our work and how you can get involved.
