Last few places left for Monday’s performance of Gaggle!
Gaggle is a joyful, non-verbal physical comedy made especially for young audiences with complex additional support needs (ASN), and their families.
Join three lighthouse keepers as they spend three days and three nights watching the sea. By day they work, watch and wait, whatever the weather. By night, lanterns are lit and things get weird, wonderful, and wild.
“We all loved the sensory experience which we could all enjoy together. It was a truly inclusive experience.” – Audience feedback
Monday 13 July, 2.30pm & 4.00pm

So grab the kids, pop down to MacMillan Hub, and join in the fun this summer!
