Join us to celebrate Dance Day, an exciting day of events for all the family to enjoy!

Start the day with an epic adventure in our theatre, with Coalesce Dance Theatre and their family-friendly show, “The Old Green Time Machine”. This story follows the journey of two intrepid and quirky time travellers who are in a race to save the world. In a future where all living things have been destroyed and all that is left is plastic, our two adventurers find themselves on an urgent mission. It’s a shame their carbon-friendly time machine bicycle has seen better days! This family-friendly show is a whirlwind of contemporary dance, music, poetry, and fun.

After this we focus back on the present day, taking part in four amazing workshops celebrating dance and movement from around the world.

Please note that we will randomly assign families to groups when you arrive and sign in. Groups will rotate around all 4 activities, so you will get to try them all! Please allow time for sign-in when considering your travel plans. Additionally, there will be a lunch break in the event schedule.
