🐰🐣Easter Workshops!!🐣🐰
As part of our GROW project, we have Easter Workshops next week.
Please click on the "book a workshop' link at the bottom of the Web page. Please book one for each child.
https://grow-the-secret-garden.sumupstore.com/
They are available for 10 to 18 year olds, and are £5 a session, but please email [email protected] if you want to get involved but have a financial barrier, we can consider younger siblings with prior agreement, please email to enquire about this.
It is essential to book, as we will need to ensure we have adequate materials for all the participants.
There are limited spaces and are drop off at 10am, pickup at noon.
The aim of the workshops is to find our backstage crew.
Actors are also welcome, as we are casting for The Secret Garden still.
This will be performed in Halifax's very own Secret Garden, Lister Lane Cemetery. Also in part at People's Park Festival and at Halifax Playhouse, our beautiful community theatre.
Performance dates are 1st and 2nd August 2026. We are growing an edible set for the stage.
Workshops will be outdoors, and potentially muddy, so please provide suitable clothing. Snacks and squash/water will be provided.
