Horse And Bamboo Waterfoot Rossendale

Horse + Bamboo is an arts organisation & charity, based in Waterfoot. Since 2006, we have been in a building standing at centre of the Rossendale Valley with a 90-seat venue, café/bar, rehearsal, workshop, meeting rooms and large store of H+B’s extensive visual theatre archive.

H+B was formed in 1978 to take visual & predominantly non-verbal performances to places neglected by conventional forms of theatre. The name comes from the use of horses to pull a caravan when touring, a central feature of the company’s work until 1999.
