In 2020, City Arts secured funding from SSBC's Ideas Fund. The project toured with a doorstep puppet show for families in lockdown.
'The Search for Teddy Island' was a small-scale show that was performed on the street outside family homes.
Learning from this experience, this new project will tour all four wards with a mini family festival.
Starting in July 2022, Nottingham charity City Arts will present four free festival days for under-5s and families. This fun-filled day of entertainment and activity will tour Bulwell, Aspley, Arboretum & Hyson Green and St Ann’s. It will feature puppetry, theatre, creative workshops and more.
Health and wellbeing support information will be included, such as:
• breastfeeding information
• healthy eating
• support for new fathers
Local parents will sit on a steering group, helping design a festival that is exclusive to these areas.
Dates of each of the festival days will be announced at the end of February.
