Play doesn't have to be on the ground

There was lots of fun in the sun at as families enjoyed an exciting aerial session with All or Nothing Aerial Dance Theatre ☀️ From swinging to cosying up together, everyone had a wonderful time exploring aerial movement in their own way.

A huge thank you to McLaughlin & Harvey Construction for generously funding this session and making it all possible.

We were delighted to be at Made In Scotland 2026 offical launch and thrilled that Float by Kerry Cleland and Company is part of this year's showcase 🎉

Now in its 17th year, Made in Scotland presents a curated programme of some of the very best theatre, music and dance from artists across Scotland at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Float is a beautiful and immersive world for babies from birth-12 months old and their grown-ups, a gently interactive performance inspired by the healing qualities of water.

Float is a three hour durational performance designed to relieve the pressure of time, inviting you to relax deeper into the world. You and your baby can explore, engage with the performers with the performers or unwind in Float's tranquil space.

We can't wait to bring Float to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this August.

3 🎂 down, 17 to go 😋

Starcatchers Wee People Big Feelings projects have been running since 2020, with it's pilot project in Scots Corner Early Years Centre. Since then it has extended to and . The project works with early years settings to explore how creativity can support early years children understand and express their feelings and support forces families with the emotional cycle of deployment.

As we come to the end of the Wee People Big Feelings project in it only seems fitting that we celebrate with Drumfork Early Years and the families involved in the sweetest way possible 🥳

To celebrate 20 incredible years, we’re marking the occasion with 20 cakes (because honestly, who needs an excuse to eat cake!)
