THE PERFORMANCE MARQUEE
• Attic Tales by Elizabeth Fost
Fed up with a family party, Elizabeth escapes to Auntie Angela’s attic to try and find some peace and quiet. But tucked away amongst the
books, old clothes and cases is a writer from Ancient Greece. Suddenly she finds herself in a wonderful world of snooty mice, vain birds and cunning foxes. Features storytelling, puppets, music and fun by this ‘Playdays’ presenter.

Local professional dance company Base Dance will be facilitating contemporary/creative dance workshops based on ‘trust and friendship’ throughout the week in schools, and will be bringing this to the Family Fun Day as a performance.

A variety of workshops from basic taster sessions, introductions to simple rhythms, fun and funky African and African based rhythms to more complex styles such as Marcatu, Afoxe, Samba, Conga, Kotoba
and Kuku.

Crazy family fun and music from this mad-about-monsters band.
