Message In a Bottle Circus Workshop – FULLY BOOKED

Saturday 23rd August, 11am and 2pm

Join Pirate Blackbeard and Mermaid Pearl in a fantastically fun creative circus workshop for the whole family in The Horton’s Gardens. Come dressed as a pirate, mermaid or any other sea-faring creature and try out juggling, dance, acrobatics, drama and more, under professional instruction. The workshop will be led by actors Susy Puckett and Neil Sweeney from the show Message In A Bottle – playing at Leatherhead Theatre on 2nd October. Children will be able to write their own ‘Message In A Bottle’ to be used in the show.

Children from the age of 4 can take part in the workshop.

Parents and carers must stay on site, and children under the age of 8 must be supported in the workshop activities by a grown-up.

This activity is free but early booking is advised as there is a maximum capacity for each session.

Optional extras on the day will include face-painting and photography, for a fee.
