Four fun Friday

Friday 8th August

11am, 12.15pm & 1.45pm Storytelling with Amanda from Merry-Go-Round Storytelling (30 mins)

Amanda from Merry-go-Round Storytelling is back with her usual high-energy interactive storytelling! Expect playful performances with lots of participation as she brings classic tales to life. Suitable for all ages!

11.45am, 12.45pm & 2.15pm shed-ache from aKa Dance Theatre (20 mins)

shed-ache is a seriously silly dance theatre show that transports little people and their grown ups to a world that sits somewhere between reality and make believe.

Two friends (three if you count the shed) get up to all sorts whilst faced with downpours, lava floors and socks falling out of the sky.  shed-ache is about the give and take of friendship, the power of imagination and the importance to embrace experiences whatever the weather.

With 100% chance of laughter.

10.30am, 11.30am, 1.15pm & 2.15pm Beautiful Bugs - Pottery with The Touring Potter (45 mins) Free but places must be booked in advance here

10.30am - 3pm Roti-making workshops (drop in)

Join Mita for a hands-on roti-making workshop where we cook roti from scratch, chat, and share stories - just like around the kitchen table.
