Creative Community Sessions for over 55's
Fun, friendly and welcoming these sessions are a great way to have some new conversations, meet some new people and try something new.
​
Sessions explore and celebrate the seasons and each workshop offers the chance to meet professional performers and facilitators and to try something completely new. No experience is needed and you can join in as much or as little as you like. Sessions take place on the second Thursday of the month.

Unboxed
​
UNBOXED is a dance and physical theatre show exploring stories hidden inside a simple cardboard box - from shelter and survival to imagination and hope. It’s about what we carry, what we let go of, and where our imaginations can take us! Make the Sunshine artists will be working in schools exploring boxes in all their forms. These workshops are supported through The Hugo Burge Foundation.​
​
Workshops taking place across schools February - March

Show 1st April 2026
