Speedwell Dance Presents... The Mountain Witch

An adventurous tale of seasons gone awry from Speedwell Dance about an ancient 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 pay-what-you-decide 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.

Sunshine on the Fallen Tree

This immersive sound and light sculpture is made from locally sourced Ash trees felled due to Ash dieback disease. Using a traditional steam bent method combined with re-usable innovative technology and a moving sound composition, we are all invited to reflect on the life of a tree and how to fill the spaces of species lost to climate change.
