Activities will be tailored for different age ranges, broadly divided between 6-10 year olds and 11+

 
 

Activities include:

Co-operative games for little ones-enjoy some fun drama games with Bugsy.   

                                  
Story time and film showings for little ones-A chill-out area with story telling and film showings, perfect for those relaxed moments.

Carnival costume workshop and parade-Come and make a festival costume, and join in with our evening parade allowing everyone to see your beautiful creations.

Puppet workshops-Working together we can visualise a story, and perform it to your parents.

Group painting-How big can we make it?

 

 

 

We have film artists, outdoor expedition leaders, visual performers,  musicians and actors all enthusiastic to share some of their skills with you.

There will be an eclectic mix of activities running throughout the weekend allowing you to drop in and out as you please, if you get bored of learning how to v-j you can enjoy some team building activities, get tired by that then perhaps a music or art jam is in order.

Most activities will culminate in a performance/showing of some kind allowing you to show off your newfound skills to your parents.

 
   

 

For the Older Ones:

   
 

 

Team building exercises-    A selection of fun, challenging and involved games for young and old. Most games involve some physical or mental exertion, and give opportunities for groups of friends or families to have fun and play together. Whether you feel like a bit of a challenge or just want to let off some energy for a few minutes, there’ll be a game for you. From crossing ‘acid swamps’ and ‘minefields’ to disarming a ‘bomb’ and raising ‘sunken treasure’, there’s plenty to do.

Music jamming workshop-Form a band for the day, have a play and see what MC SenSeiC has to offer, there’s opportunity for rapping, slam poetry, and music making of any genre-you could even create your own!

V-jing workshop-learn how to capture and manipulate video with Nim our resident V.J,  when it gets dark we can project your work onto the marquees and show the whole festival what you can do.

Film showings/live projections + solar powered cinema -brought to you by local children, and local artists, the cinema offers an opportunity to kick back and relax whilst enjoying what local artists have to offer.

Live Art jams-the possibilities are endless, how far will your imaginations take it, we have loads of materials and loads of people on hand for any help needed, go crazy…

 

And more to be continued………

 

 
     
 

All the activities are overseen by trained, first aid qualified, CRB checked staff. All the equipment used meets the safety standards expected by the Health and Safety Executive. Some games and workshops will not be suitable for the very young and some parental supervision may be requested. Some games involve water and you may get wet if you play them!

Unfortunately we cannot offer crèche facilities so children under 6 must be accompanied, plenty of fun to be had for parents though too.
