Culture in the Community- Art, Heritage, Faith, and Activity

Whether you want to shine on stage or bring a production to life behind the scenes, Grantham Dramatic Society welcomes you! At our core, we believe in community, unity, and bringing people together in creative and inspiring ways. That’s why we’re proud to be taking part in the Culture in the Community event, celebrating the power of the arts in uniting people and giving them a space to express their ideas and interests. 

We’re looking for people to join us in a range of roles! Step into the spotlight with acting or help shape the show through producing and directing. Get creative with set design, painting, and props, or keep things running smoothly with stage management. No experience? No problem!
Our friendly and creative community is here to welcome you.

The u3a Scottish Dancers group formed in 2016 and provides an opportunity to exercise both mind and body and have fun at the same time.  Although the only Scottish Dancing group in Grantham, there are a number of groups within a few miles and many of our members are now also dancing regularly with the Waltham Scottish Country Dance Group and/or the Newark Scottish Country Dance Society. Scottish Dancing is enjoyed around the world and some of our members have danced in many European countries as well as Canada, New Zealand and Africa.  

There are so many Scottish Country Dances there is always something new to learn. You don’t need a partner, or a kilt – just a pair of soft shoes! To find out more, contact John Aitken on 07770 428103

Situated on Dudley Road, Grantham for the past 55 years, Grantham Seventh-Day Adventist Church provides a place of worship every Saturday morning. 

They currently partner with Grantham Poverty Concern to provide Sunday breakfast, support Grantham Foodbank, supply hats and canula sleeves to Neo Natal Units at four local hospitals, and distribute the Easter eggs and toys brought to Grantham by NTMCC bikers each year.  In addition to community work, they offer courses and programmes on health, English language for refugees and migrants, the history of Christianity and Bible courses on different topics.  They began to promote and develop the ‘Because You’re Loved’ project with the aim of helping to make our town a kinder place.  They’ll be hard to miss at the event, as they hope to bring along a 7-foot statue, as seen in the dream of an ancient king, which accurately predicted the history of world empires. Plus they’ll be running a quiz with gift bags for all who take part.
