More on Sandscape
Sand is a favourite plaything for so many children, but how exactly does it feel when it runs through your hand, over umbrellas and into buckets?
Sandscape is a non-verbal theatrical performance celebrating the beauty and essence of nature, using sand as its central element.
A playful and immersive experience using plastic, cups, umbrellas, and buckets, Sandscape explores the texture, weight, and movement of sand on different materials, giving a relaxing and engaging experience for the audience.
Duration: 40 mins
More on CBeebies Musical Storyland
You’ve seen the shows on CBeebies! Now you can see some of the stories live at Belfast Children’s Festival as musicians from the Ulster Orchestra and trumpeter Sean Chandler present interactive performances of traditional tales, The Enormous Turnip and The Three Billy Goats Gruff from the CBeebies series, Musical Storyland.
These traditional stories will be brought to life through music in the Ireland premiere of this interactive show, with plenty of opportunities for audiences to join in singing and dancing.
With a different story each day, why not consider booking tickets for the whole weekend?
Suitable for babies and children up to the age of 7 and their families. All performances take place in a relaxed atmosphere and will be BSL signed.
Duration: 30 mins
