Come round off the year and celebrate the holiday season with a festive family dance party!
Two artists will take you on an imaginative music and movement journey through a winter wonderland, where we meet arctic animals, talking snow-people and ice queens and kings! There will be props, lights and festive fun galore.
Find parties overwhelming? There will also be a quiet space for children who need time out or have additional sensory needs. Easy-read social stories describing the event are available for all families upon request.
This event is aimed at children aged 3-8 but will also be fun for all the family! Winter fancy dress is encouraged.
