About this Event
In a year when the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite, you can give a young person in Braunstone, Leicester a joyful day of creativity, confidence-building and community.
Your £25 ticket funds one child’s place on Play in a Day — a guided theatre workshop led by professional theatre practitioners Shelley Louise Smith from The Eyrie CIC. Across five energetic hours (10:00–15:00), young people will devise, rehearse and perform a short piece to share as part of the Library Light Switch-On celebrations. Come and watch what we created on Sat 29 Nov.
