The Galtres Festival of Fun has taken on a Wonderland theme for 2010 and will be packed with amazing things to do for families and young people.
The Festival white rabbit sang:
Mad hatters hats, tea parties, dressing up and changing shape.
Climbing high and scaling the wall,
Bang the drum and shrinking small,
Share the beat, feel the heat,
Be surprised and walk tall.
Festival of Fun organiser Liz Pocklington explained: "Through our varied and unusual programme we are offering creative and learning experiences that reflect our wish to keep the family at the centre of our work. You can try something new and even appear in the programme by taking part in out procession but we really hope you have fun and gain a positive experience.
"For the first time we are showcasing some super talented young musicians. Each day an exciting mixed music programme will amaze and maybe inspire you to take up a challenge. If listening isn’t enough, then sign up for our workshop with professional young musicians Junk Drums. They will entertain us with rhythm played on bins, buckets and bodies. Their workshop is for 8-16 year olds and you too can share their love of music, movement and harmony.
"If you prefer dancing then Salma, our professional Bollywood dancer is on hand to teach you the latest moves. She will perform her magical dance and then challenge you to join her Indian wonderland.
"I mentioned the procession and this will be well worth joining. Led by Damon Locker on stilts, you won’t be able to miss us! Damon usually dresses as a clown but this year he will surprise us all with a new costume and rumour has it it’s mad! We want to showcase your achievements and so there will be a song writing workshop just before the procession, which with a bit of luck will culminate in a festival song. We need volume so the more the merrier.
"Wonderland will also feature in Adrian Spendlow’s stories. You can hear him at different times of the day in different places. Be sure to catch at least one because he is a master storyteller and holds younger and older children captivated!
"We like dressing up and we hope you do to. Find the dressing up box and change your look and then change your shape! Something strange in the mirror?
"Anyone for tea and cake? You might find Alice having tea and you could join her if our fairy cake appeal takes off. Have your face painted like a mad March hare and keep your eye on the clock so you don’t miss anything."
