Register your event at Centre Camp

underland 2026 Centre camp event submissions are open

Centre Camp is the heart and soul of Underland and is an inclusive, fun and accessible space where everyone can hold a workshop or event; if you've got an idea for a performance, workshop, activation, ritual, whatever...

Centre Camp is where you can make your vision come to life!

No stress if your performance or idea is still a work in progress, just come as you are, express your creativity and have some fun! It's more about the experience than perfection.
