CHOOSE A PROGRAMME
Primary | Infant | Junior | Secondary | Special | Summer | Nursery | Christmas

N.B. All timings and Year groupings are given as examples only and can be changed to suit your timetable and requirements. We prefer to perform and to run the workshops in the hall or other large space if possible. We also prefer if possible to have given a performance to those children for whom we run workshops.
