What an amazing day this was! Over 800 people, 48 workshops and performances and a sea of smiles, friendship, fun and family.
The Covid-safe action took place at Beaumont School in circus tents, marquees and spaces around the campus and the aim was to celebrate the creativity, optimism and resilience of our young people during the pandemic and to show how much theatre and performance can contribute to mental well-being and the feeling of belonging and inclusion. And, of course to HAVE FUN!!!
