Who are Appetite?
Appetite is an arts programme led by New Vic Theatre whose mission is to get more people in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent to have exciting arts experiences on their doorsteps.

Photography and Film
We love to capture reactions so will be taking photographs, capturing the afternoon in action. We may capture people that are enjoying our activities so if you don’t want to be in a photograph do let our Stewards know – they will have Appetite T-shirts on or you can contact us via the email above. We will use the photos on our social media to show people what we do
