The Rebel Room

19-25 Nov | 12:00-16:00 | Free

The Rebel Room invites you to dissent! Draw and write on the walls, windows and tables. Play an instrument or recorded music at volume. Tell your tale of rebellion to camera. Take to the stage for theatrical storytelling or re-enactment of a personal protest – real or imagined. Visit alone or bring friends. The rules are limited and some are made to be broken.

Mental Health Forum

Sat 17 Nov | 13:00-16:00 | Free (Ticketed)

Mental health problems are common, so why is talking about them difficult and why do people find it so hard to
understand? In a bid to expel the stigma, recognise the demons and allow ourselves to talk openly and ask for help, we invite you to listen, discuss or share.

Puffin by Snap Elastic

22 Nov | 19:00-20:00 | £3 Child/£6 Adult
Family Ticket £15

Why do clouds multiply in inexplicable ways? Why do sand eels just disappear from the sea? In an uncertain world, a girl meets a puffin and a puffin meets a girl. This is the story of a girl and her friendship with a puffin. Through their friendship they learn how to deal with change, even climate change. Using music and movement Puffin explores our relationships with and our responsibilities to each other, wildlife and the world around us. A classic ‘girl meets puffin’ story.

In partnership with D&G Arts Festival Arts Live
