Spooky crafts at the farm for half-term
MAIDENHEAD: There was a spooky feel about Norden Farm this week as the arts venue holds a series of halfterm activities.
Youngsters took part in an arts and crafts session yesterday (Wednesday), in which shoeboxes were used to create a shadow theatre to be displayed in windows.
The sold-out sessions were led by Norden Farm’s education manager Jess Thompson in the venue’s Long Barn.
Other events happening at the arts centre this week include a performance of family show The Little Prince, performed by dance company Luca Silvestrini's Protein.
The group were at Norden Farm yesterday to begin their rehearsals, with the show running until Saturday at 11.30am and 3.30pm.
Norden Farm chief executive Jane Corry said: “It’s completely thrilling to have this award winning, internationally renowned dance company at Norden Farm this half term.
“We’ve been planning this for two years and to have it finally here on the Courtyard
Stage is just joyful.”
Norden Farm is also helping vulnerable children and families in the borough by giving out free passes and meals in conjunction with charities.
Chief executive Jane Corry said: “Through our fundraising,
we’re so happy to be able to give free tickets and meals to disadvantaged children and families this half term so everyone can enjoy the magic.”
