Speedwell Dance presents... The Mountain Witch

An adventurous tale from Speedwell Dance of seasons gone awry, an ancient and powerful witch and the determination of children to put things right. Join musicians and dancers to awaken scampering creatures, tiptoe past the Mountain Witch’s cave and finally convince her to let the sun return.

A playful and inclusive experience for children aged 3-8 years and their grown-ups. With inspiring dance, songs and original music played live on clarinet, flute and cello.

Rattle & Hum Music

Fancy a music class where your little one can get their hands on actual real instruments?

During the Festival of Play I will have the flute with me for everyone to hear and explore - this is not a look don't touch class!

The class will be structured around familiar and new songs, with plenty of instruments, as well as time for free play.

Coffee & tea is provided too:-)
