12 July Maltings Youth Theatre: Brainstorm ‘Brainstorm’ is a play about teenage brain development, told through the real-life experiences of the young people who create and perform it. It was originated by the award-winning and innovative youth theatre Company Three and was performed at the National Theatre in London. Company Three have since created a blueprint for ‘Brainstorm’ that has enabled countless youth theatres around the world to create their own version of the play and we are thrilled that our very own Maltings Youth Theatre are devising their own version! The group will learn more about the creation of a play from research and development to writing, editing, and rehearsing. £8 - 60 mins 28 July – 30 August Artbox Summer Workshop Have fun learning how to create a collection of seasonal summer inspired mixed media work.

Chef Rufus Skumskins O’Parsley is famous for creating some of the world’s most disgusting dishes. You might know him from the award-winning children’s book ‘The Rascally Cake’, written by Jeanne Willis and Korky Paul. Rufus went viral after baking a huge, human-eating cake from ingredients including snot, blubber and a cowpat. He only escaped being gobbled up by the gruesome gateau because he tasted awful – a result of his foul diet. For ten years now, Rufus has been on a mission to make everyone taste bad and protect them from the creature he cooked up.
