Part of our Arts Around Towns and Villages Days!
The SKDC arts and culture team are planning to take events out into the community with help from Arts Council England funding in a bid to spread work across the district and investigate new ways of providing the arts in South Kesteven.
The ever-popular Arts Around Town Family Days will be happening this year in a Covid safe way in South Kesteven’s four towns during the May half term, covid restrictions permitting.
There will be plenty of fun activities to enjoy and something for all the family. Through these events SKDC will employ 50 Artists, 5 Creative Producers, provide 50 outdoor or online arts experiences to engage with residents and keep the arts in SK alive!
Where: Main Hall, Deeping Community Centre
‘Popcorn Media’ presents silliness and laughter through a collection of short animated clips, up on their mobile silver screen.
Join us in the main hall at the Deepings Community Centre for this family film experience.
Creation Station Craft Sessions
Where: The Atrium, Deeping Community Centre
Led by the crazily creative Inga Maxwell, you can design, create and magically mesmerize with this crafty session. Using natural elements from every corner of any garden to dazzle even the meekest muggle.
Where: The Gardens, Deeping Community Centre
Ashley Butterfield prepares the newest recruits of Nature Explorers who’ll set off in search for all kinds of plants, leaves, trees and even a few creepy crawlies! Learn what lives in our gardens and parks, and especially how we can help to keep them.
Nature Explorers “Assemble” and happy hunting.
Where: The Gardens, Deeping Community Centre
“Role up, Role up” and join Professor Philips as he entertains even the biggest of kids with this classically chaotic slapstick comedy. There’s Mr Punch, Judy, the crocodile and of course those disappearing sausages. So be sure to bring your loud voices as shouting and cheering is greatly encouraged.
Gruffalo Meet & Greet
Where: Deepings Community Centre & Library
When: 11:30
He may have two large curved horns at the top of his head, bright orange eyes and a black tongue, but our friendly Gruffalo is anything but, big, mean and ugly. So come say hello to our furry friendly giant for all your pictures, as he’s actually really cuddly.
