Take part in this event for families celebrating theatre and performance with activities that both BSL users and non BSL users can enjoy. 

Join author and storyteller Wendy Shearer for Caribbean and Nigerian stories. 

Join to hear “The Grumpy Geko/The rainforest at night” a Caribbean tale, set at the night time. A Geko complains about animals in the forest and makes a journey through the night discovering the importance of animals in nature and building connections.

Enjoy “Why the sky is far away” a Nigerian folk tale exploring the rainforest in daytime and our connection and harmony with the earth and nature. Find out what happens when we over indulge! 

Sessions are 40 mins long and start at: 11:00, 13;00 and 15:00

This is a families event for adults to enjoy together with their children; no child can be left unattended. Suitable for ages 5+.
