Rural touring theatre returns this Spring

Cheshire Rural Touring Arts, a partnership between Cheshire West and Chester Council and Cheshire East Council has launched the new Spring 2024 artistic programme taking place at various community venues across Cheshire.

Councillor Lisa Denson, Cabinet Member for A Fairer Future (Poverty, Public Health and Mental Health) said: “Cheshire Rural Touring Arts return this Spring with another full programme with something for everyone.

“From Shakespeare to Dickens, from Africa to Cornwall and from climate change to dance there are performances for all ages. Last season many shows sold out, so make sure to book your tickets before they’re gone.”

Birdie by Mind The Gap

Tuesday 18 June 1.30pm - Neston Library, CH64 6QE
Wednesday 19 June 1.30pm - St Mary’s Creative Space, CH1 2DW

Mind The Gap present their show Birdie, a fun and poignant adventure that blends choreography and original music to tell a powerful and accessible story about climate change for families. Traveling in a mesmerising upcycled mobile home, characters Homie and Birdie navigate a world filled with plastics and pollution on a journey towards freedom and hope. Described by an audience member and teacher as “a very beautiful and visual demonstration of what we can do to help the planet”. Post-show, the audiences are invited to create their climate action protest signs.
This accessible show is suitable for ages 5-11 and their families.
