Introduce children to the magic of theatre with the Little Feet Festival of Children’s Theatre. Organised by Carriageworks Theatre, York Theatre Royal and tutti frutti, Little Feet Festival aims to stimulate curious young minds and bring the magic of live performance to children aged up to 12.
Coming to Leeds for the first time, the festival transforms the theatre’s Millennium Room into a beautiful and imaginative play area. This year’s festival theme is parties and celebrations!
Come along and enjoy a special selection of party food, cake and free craft activities. Plus a host of performances, interactive experiences and workshops for children of all ages and their families. From a scrumptious musical adaption of Michael Rosen’s much loved poem Chocolate Cake, to a hilarious family comedy trying to save the world, one bee at a time.
