CODSWALLOP TURNS 10 IN 2023...
AND WE ARE CELEBRATING!

Codswallop CIC first opened its doors on the 30th October 2013 to The Oddballs School of Theatrical Extravaganzas (now Oddballs Theatre Makers) under its former name, JP Productions. Since then, Codswallop has snowballed in to a huge, creative community and 2023 is the year to celebrate 10 years of bringing people together, making, painting, singing and most importantly, chaos.

We will be marking the big 1-0 with ten very special 'Celebrations'. Each of these Celebrations highlight different values that Codswallop has channeled throughout the last 10 years. From theatre to fundraising, playing to planting, 2023 is going to be a jam-packed, chaotic year of partying, celebrating and reflecting on 10 years of community.
