WORKSHOPS WELCOME TO THE 5TH LITTLE FEET FESTIVAL OF CHILDREN’S THEATRE

FESTIVAL DIARY 12-16 JUNE 2018

Can’t Sit Still presents:

BRING YOUR OWN BABY WORKSHOP

Join us in celebrating the 5th Little Feet Festival of Children’s Theatre where our theme this year is ‘parties and celebrations’! Enjoy a range of exciting and inspiring theatre productions for children aged 0-12 based around our theme.

From the delightful adaptation of the Michael Rosen poem Chocolate Cake, to the invitation for all year 6s to come to Katie’s Birthday Party, to joining the bee party in Me and My Bee…there will be plenty of revelry and fun. As ever you can be assured of a great party menu for the week in our café and there will be lots of things to make, paint, colour and sparkle on our crafting table together with some great workshops to take part in. Don’t miss the opportunity to come and celebrate, and whatever that may be you can be sure of a warm welcome.

BYOB workshops are a guilt free space to reconnect with yourself, your baby and other parents through singing, gentle movement activities and, of course, tea and biscuits.

This isn’t a baby sensory class. We won’t sing The Wheels on the Bus. We will sing uplifting songs, stretch our tired bodies and chat about whatever is on our minds.

No singing or movement experience is necessary. Everyone welcome. Bring your own baby.

Sat 16th June 11am & 2.30pm 0-12 Duration: 1hr 30m MONTHS Tickets: £7 (parent & baby)

Meet two cloud spotters. They can interpret the tall tales that clouds tell to each other.

You see, there is nothing clouds like better than looking out for funny stories unfolding way below them. They puff out these tales to their cloud friends, shape shifting as they go.

There is just one problem; clouds have a habit of drifting off, so they never see how the earthly adventure ends. Can you help the cloud spotters finish the stories? Who knows where you will float off to?

Join in the fun and become a cloud spotter too!
