We've got loads of family fun in store for the May Half Term...

For fans of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, we’re bringing to the stage the enchanting Tales from Acorn Wood, packed full of toe-tapping songs, storytelling and puppetry!

We also have a new musical adventure with There’s A Monster In Your Show, a high-energy adaptation of Tom Fletcher’s beloved book series. Full of lively original music, this is the perfect introduction to live theatre for little ones.

We’re also delighted to be welcoming back comedy duo SHELF for The Kids Show 2 – The Power of Two, expect double the jokes, double the silliness and double the fun.

For the older kids, we have a range of creative camps on offer exploring dance, gaming/IT skills and art.

From Sun 24 – Sat 30 May, you can also come along to see our Young Artists Exhibition, a free exhibition celebrating the creativity of young artists (ages 11-25) from Barnet and surrounding boroughs.

While you’re here, drop into our FREE soft play area playdepot. And you can find a range of delicious snacks and hot lunch options available at cafedepot.
