Chalk Presents Witches Dawdon Community Centre
Join us for an afternoon of scabby bald heads and gruesome claws as we present the 1990 classic, The Witches. As a young boy stumbles upon a witch convention, he must thwart their evil plans, even after being turned into a mouse! Sit back (but don’t get too comfy!) and enjoy this gloriously menacing story.
The screening will be preceded by a host of interactive workshops and activities. You’ll be able to make your own mouse mask, craft a creepy nose and learn how to spot a real life witch!
Watch out for the parents wearing white gloves!

Jack & The Beanstalk, a GIANT of a pantomime!
Jack, a poor country boy, trades the family cow for a handful of magic beans, which grow into an enormous beanstalk reaching up into the clouds. Jack climbs the beanstalk and finds himself in the castle of an unfriendly giant. The giant senses Jacks presence and cries “Fee, Fie, Fo, Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!”
Will Jack be able to escape the giant?

Topsy Turvy Theatre presents Christopher’s Christmas
Its Christmas Eve and Christopher Nibble and his family are putting the finishing touches to his tree when their festive fun is interrupted by a shocking radio announcement. Father Christmas is lost! His Sat Nav has broken and he can’t find Dandeville!
The guinea pigs gather together and hatch a plan to save Christmas… but everything they do seems to cause chaos and calamity. Suddenly there is a power cut and it seems like all is lost. Does Christopher Nibble have the seasonal spirit to save the day? Or will the guinea pigs of Dandeville wake up to empty stockings this year?
Told using beautiful puppets and stunning scenery, Christopher’s Christmas is a collaboration between the creator of Christopher Nibble, Charlotte Middleton, and Claire Alizon Hills of Topsy Turvy Theatre, written especially for children aged 2-7 and their families.
