The Hut People - Folk & World Music

Champions of the standing ovation, The Hut People are rapidly gaining more and more of a reputation as one of the hottest and most entertaining Folk/World acts touring today.  Taking the audience on a voyage across the globe with their varied material, they perform a hugely engaging, entertaining and truly unique blend of home-grown tunes mixed with British, Nordic and European folk music, perfectly formed and embellished with the driving accordion and a dazzling array of exotic percussion.

Great music and virtuosity aside, a show from The Hut People is overflowing with humor, spontaneity and a 100% commitment to their getting-the-crowd-involved ethos.  Don't miss them!

The Wheel House - Rolling Theatre & Acrobatics Performance

"Acrobatic virtuosity combined with poetic design."
City Mouse Magazine review, Israel

Heath Robinson meets Beckett meets The Wombles meet the Road...
A gently comic dystopia, set in a different time where everything has a new value and survival relies on sharp eyes, quick hands, and, above all, friendship.  Join these traveller-gatherers on the road to nowhere: treading lightly, surviving quietly, and always, always moving onwards.

A story which unfolds inside and around the circular set as it rolls along at a gentle pace, with the audience walking alongside, The Wheel House features comedy, theatrical acrobatics and breathtaking moments of risk, all housed within an exquisite, hand-built structure.

A moving piece of visual theatre from Acrojou.

GiTS from Stuff and Things - Live Performance / Comedy

Git /gIt/ n. Brit. sl. a silly or contemptible person

Celebrate the virtues of never really growing up and meet the men who put the hip into hip operation and the age into outrageous!  Vernon Ponder and Monty Tailforth are GiTS - The ultimate party minglers.  Dancing like no-one's watching and choc-full of bus pass bonhomie, these superannuated scene-stealers are never backward at coming forward and they're coming to the seaside!  Drawn by promises of bathing beauties, ice-creams and sandwiches, and with knotted hankies and the prospect of a nice paddle, be sure to expect the unexpected and expect it to be silly.  After all - any fool can put up a deckchair.  Right..?

Mr Wippy and the Conettes - Musical Theatre

Mr Wippy and the Conettes is a piece of mobile, musical theatre based in an antique ice cream van.  The styling is reminiscent of 1940's American 'Cheesecake' art and the saucy seaside postcard art of pre-war Britain, tailored to suit family audiences.  The theme of the show is ice cream and it is 20mins long.  The characters: Mr. Wippy - the compere and crooner, Knickerbocker Glory (AKA Strawberry Sauce) the leading lady and The Conettes-the two backing singers, all sing and dance familiar Hollywood musical numbers with rewritten lyrics.  After shows the cast offer short dance workshops to members of the audience, all ages are welcome.
