Don’t wait to see what the weather is doing as we have a range of indoor activities with a few spooky Halloween twists thrown in for good measure.
Let’s start with our theatre. Nothing keeps the whole family engaged quite like a show in our beautiful, historic performing arts space. With family ticket packages available, this is October Half Term done right.
Scott Ritchie Productions brings the story of Rapunzel; an exciting and fun tangled musical adventure. Let your hair down in a brand-new adaptation of the popular fairy tale which is packed with songs, dance routines and jokes a-plenty.
With an exciting photo opportunity with the characters after the show, this is sure to be a “hair-raising” production that you won’t want to miss.
Tickets available via our website now.
I Spy With My Little Eye is the perfect introduction to live theatre for little ones. This event is ideal for ages 2+ and even gives audiences the opportunity to have a photo opportunity with the cast!
So consider yourself cordially invited to join us for what promises to be a truly magical day of fun and laughter, complete with an amazing birthday treasure hunt, all your favourite sing along songs and lots of interactive games – including birthday girl Molly’s favourite… “I Spy With My Little Eye!”
