Creative Peaks is an arts and music organisation, joining the dots between sound, words, image, movement and the natural world. Based at the Watts Russell Arms, an ancient stone-built venue nestled between the River Dove and Thor’s Cave in the Peak District National Park, and supported by the Arts Council, Creative Peaks brings together creatives with an emphasis on improvisation, experimentation and collaboration.
