The Market Place Theatre in Armagh has plenty lined up to keep the youngsters entertained this summer.
On Saturday 5 August, Banyan Puppet Theatre returns with their production of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. A playful and imaginative re-telling of the timeless Brother Grimm’s story, this is the tale of a curious young girl who weaves her way through the wintery woods to her grandma’s house in a journey full of surprises. A blend of live performance, puppet operation and visual invention, ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ is suitable for 3-11 year olds, with tickets only £26 for a family of 4.
For those kids who are a little more hands-on, there will be plenty of workshop fun to be had. On Saturday 12 August, 5-12 year olds can join the ‘Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside’ workshop which will allow youngsters to create a quirky colourful beach scene featuring cute summer-ready characters, using air drying clay.
Then on Saturday 19 August, children aged 7-12 can make a splash creating your own Merpeople. Let’s start by making them a magical underwater world to live in. It will be a mixed media extravaganza, using a wide variety of materials to create a three-dimensional nautical artwork. There will be painting and designing, with lots of decorations available to add that extra touch to your piece [sequins anyone?]. Perfect opportunities to free their imaginations!
Tickets for all performances and workshops can be booked online at www.visitarmagh.com/marketplacetheatre, or through the Box Office on 03300 561 025.
