A stand-up, musical and multimedia celebration of one of British music’s most iconic and enduring movements.

Marking the 30th anniversary of the genre’s pinnacle: the 1995 Blur / Oasis chart battle, as well as coinciding with the reformed Oasis’ record-busting reunion tour, the show delves into the ridiculous stories, the OTT personalities and the enduring rivalries, all while celebrating some of the best music Britain has ever produced.

Part warm, trivia-packed tribute, part send-up and part one-man rock ‘n’ roll party, The Britpop Hour is written and performed by award winning music journalist, author, comedian, musician and 90s refugee Marc Burrows (The Guardian, The Quietus, The Independent, Big Issue, New Statesman). Mad fer’it, do ya know what I mean?

Based on the profound true story of husband and wife, Raynor and Moth Winn’s 630-mile trek along the beautiful but rugged Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline. Starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs.

After being forcibly removed from their home, they make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. With depleted resources, only a tent and some essentials between them, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination.

The Salt Path is a journey that is exhilarating, challenging and liberating in equal measure.

A portrayal of home, how it can be lost and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.

In each session children take part in a series of drama games and activities that develop their confidence as well as teaching them drama skills. These include focus, communication, developing a character and voice projection.

As the weeks go on the group will each have a part with some lines to learn in a small-scale show. They will rehearse as a team and share what they have learnt during the last session, more details to follow on this after half term.

Suitable for school years 2 - 6.
