One Roof Festival, 19-30th January: full programme now available!

Happy new year, everyo -

...

Right, enough of that nonsense, time to get back to work ;)

We teased you with the first little bits of information about the festival at the end of last year, and now we have the full programme announcement for you. And with just under two weeks to go, you'll want to get your 2026 diaries out now and start planning what you want to attend!

This year (because our friends at ODAC put us in charge...!) there are more theatre- and storytelling-related sessions, and more opportunities for multi-artform collaboration, than ever before. Because of requests from the community, we've also mixed up the arts workshops with mental health and wellbeing-focused sessions.

As we mentioned in the last post, for the first time ever, the festival will operate a project space in both weeks, with each week R&Ding the two projects that will then become the focuses of our weekly year-round programme. So this is also your opportunity to frame what happens for the rest of the year!

No need to sign up - if you have lived experience of any kind of homelessness, past or present, you can just turn up and you will be welcome. If you want to let us know about any access needs in advance, though, feel free to do so through this form.

Most of what you might want to know is in the pack linked in this blog (and we've also put the full workshop timetable below for ease of reference because we're nice like that) - but if you do want to know anything else, or want to be put on the One Roof participation mailing list, please feel free to check in with oneroof@olddiorama.com. And if you want to get any updates and announcements direct to your phone, you can join the One Roof participant WhatsApp Community here.

See you there!
