Halfterm activities

A host of activities at a Stirling arts centre will keep children entertained next week.

Galloping into Macrobert this school half term break is a quirky rework of classic, Polar Bears who like Sandwiches, and more importantly adventures, and X-Factor style singing competition lead by a koala.

Following a critically acclaimed run, Black Beauty canters onto stage on Saturday (February 18). Blending storytelling, music and puppetry, this vibrant re-telling is not to be missed and offers fun and adventure.

Performed by Andy Manley (White, My House) and Andy Cannon (Labyrinth, Arthur), with design by Shona Reppe (White, Huff ), Black Beauty was a huge hit over Christmas at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh.

Two mischievous, yet lovable, polar bears are back in The Polar Bears Go Up on Thursday February 16.

Intrepid explorers, famous for their wild expeditions, this time they’ll be climbing trees, jumping on clouds and reaching for the stars.

In the Filmhouse, from the makers of Minions and Despicable Me, don’t miss Sing. In a city of humanoid animals, a hustling theatre director’s attempts to save his theatre from going under with a singing competition becomes grander than anticipated - and the finalists find that their lives will never be the same.
