‘Mortifyingly funny new wave British circus’ The Guardian ★★★★

Fresh from their incredible opening performances at the Roundhouse, one of the UK’s hottest circus companies head to Brighton with their electrifying new show KIN.

Barely Methodical Troupe’s hit debut Bromance won awards and critical praise for its use of stripped-back, bare-stage athleticism to tell engaging stories about male relationships. Now, KIN explores group dynamics and how it feels to jostle for attention, camaraderie and affection through catching, flying and tumbling.

KIN premiered with a sold-out run at Roundhouse’s Circusfest 2016 to rave reviews and standing ovations. Don’t miss your chance to see this thrilling show, dripping with deadpan humour, disarming emotion and jaw-dropping acrobatics.

‘Travelling Light … one of the very best providers of theatre for young people’ Guide2Bath

Sammy LOVES animals, but his mum won't let him have any in the house. When he hears about the 'Adopt a Snow Leopard' programme, Sammy reckons he's found the perfect way to have a pet. But then a parcel arrives…

A high-energy show involving stuffed animals, evil neighbours, school projects and limes, that will enchant everyone over the age of 5.

Story Draw with Woody
Thu 20 Apr, 1pm – 2pm

Following the 11.30am performance of Sammy & the Snow Leopard, a wonderfully creative activity is taking place on the Mezzanine of our Café-bar. It’s Easter Holidays and some of illustrator Woody’s characters have gone on holiday – leaving gaps in the storyline. Are you a budding young artist? Come along and draw with Woody to help her create a new tale! Combining collage with drawing, children will make their own characters that they can also take home.

Who is Woody? From much loved fashion collaborations to public art installations, graphic artist & illustrator Zara Wood a.k.a Woody is best known for iconic characters and colourful spaces where short stories bloom.


Naomi’s Wild & Scary

End the half term well by joining children’s TV presenter Naomi Wilkinson on her nationwide tour. The show will be packed full of fun and surprises as Naomi is joined on stage by ‘Animal Mark’, and some of his scariest creatures.
