In 2023, with the help of the National Heritage Lottery, we celebrated 40 years of Oily Cart. You can explore more of our history through our digital archive, coming soon.
Today, we continue to push the boundaries of theatre in our work for all children, prioritising those who have the most barriers to access. Having learnt from the pandemic, we now continue to offer shows in theatres, schools, in community and care settings and at home. Please consider supporting 40 more years of spectacular, inclusive theatre work.

Space to Be: The Families’ Experience
The Uncancellable Programme was the company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to make sure that we could continue to create theatre for and with our audiences in a safe way. Unable to create close-up, interactive shows that use touch, or tour to any of the places we normally perform, we once again ripped up the rule book and reimagined our ways of working. We performed on families’ doorsteps, over Zoom, sent sensory shows in the post, and created sensory films.
