Parents looking for something to occupy their energetic youngsters during the October half term will be relieved to know that The Nuffield Theatre has a week of fun workshops planned for ages 3 and up.
3?– 4 year olds and their carers take an imaginative adventure under the waves using craft, sound and creative play in Deep Blue Fun on Monday 26 October (9am–10.30am / 11am–12.30pm, ?8). Pass tropical fish? sharks? starfish? pearls and sunken treasure on your underwater journey to meet the Sea Queen and help her recover her lost jewels!
5?– 7 year olds unleash their imaginations in the sock-puppet workshop Sock Monsters! on Tuesday 27 October (10am–3pm, ?15). Create your own fun sock-puppet character – wacky, funny, smart or pretty – and use a variety of buttons, wool and other materials to bring it to life. The creative possibilities are endless! Share your new creation at the end of the day in the special sock-puppet parade!
8 – 11 year olds get creative in the Halloween themed workshop Boo Who??? on Wednesday 28 October (10am-3pm, ?15). Spend this day of craft and theatre creating your character, making a silly or scary mask, dressing up and making some spooky friends! Present your character at the end of the day!
Ages 13 and up learn the basics of a hugely popular Asian art form in Bollywood Boogie on Thursday 29 October (10am-4pm, ?17). Spend a lively day learning the moves with the very best tuiton from renowned Indian dancer, actress, choreographer and teacher Rakhi Sood, and perform a special routine for family and friends at the end of the session!
Children aged 8 and above take a look behind the scenes and learn how The Nuffield’s production of Great Bleak Expectations was brought to the stage in Off the Page on Friday 30 October (10am – 4pm, ?20). This fun day of theatre and craft will be led by the show’s director Russ Tunney and includes a ticket to the production (performances on Sat 31st Oct & Sun 1 Nov, 11am & 1pm).
