Get moving and head to Basingstoke Festival, three weekends of free street performances for the whole family across Basingstoke and Deane.
Deaf Explorer and Basingstoke Festival put together an opportunity for deaf and hard of hearing emerging artists, wanting to work outdoors, try out new ideas, or translate existing work to an outdoor space.
Irish Deaf performance artist and actor Paula Clarke in collaboration with hearing writer and actor Charis McRoberts are delighted to present The Wee Folk.
This new accessible piece of outdoor theatre introduces children and families to a magical world of myth and legend.
Join spirits of the forest Fiadh and Sion on an exciting adventure as they play tricks and tell tales about the wee folk of the wilderness.
Knock, knock – who’s there? Whisper for a wish and they may grant it but continue to pull down the trees and litter our earth and they may come after you!
Saturday 29th June
11:30am and 2pm
