We are freewheelers
We are a diverse and creative company of people with disabilities based in Leatherhead, Surrey. We work alongside directors, producers, composers, artists and writers, to co-create and produce engaging, thought-provoking, funny, joyous and highly entertaining theatre, dance, film, and music.
For over thirty years we’ve been a force for change and artistic excellence in the world of Disability Arts.
With locations across Surrey, we make theatre, dance, film, music and visual art that challenges perceptions and defies expectations.
Our person-centred, creative process and the friendly, communal Freewheelers atmosphere creates an environment where our members’ confidence, independence, social skills and self expression can thrive.
Every week is packed with creative workshops where members come together to share their creative talents, learn new skills and work towards a new performance, film or piece of art.
Freewheelers is a home from home for many of our members (some of whom have been with us for almost three decades!)
A day with the Freewheelers is a chance to meet friends, chat, laugh, have fun and be yourself! #WEAREFREEWHEELERS
