From the 31st of January to the 17th of February 2024 we are hosting ‘What If…?’ a festival of children’s stories.
There will be theatre performances, workshops, an exhibition, author and illustrator talks. And Emmanuel Hall will be transformed into a portal for creativity and play, all centred around the magic of story!
With a café on site, selling local produce, the festival will become a space for families to spend their day, moving from one vibrant creative activity to the next.
‘What If..?’ launches the company’s exciting new vision for Emmanuel Hall as a Centre for the Imagination for Children and Young People.
