We Are Family: Six Kids and a Super-Dad – 22nd Feb @ 6pm – Tickets £6

here’s Dad’s disgusting nettle soup and peculiar pancakes, horrible home haircuts, punishing press-ups and scum in the bathtub. BUT then there’s the joy of boxing lessons with Dad, fun family outings, jokes and pranks – and storytelling round the fire. Not to mention a home-made birthday cake like no other!

Oliver’s real-life childhood – rough, tough but happy – is taken from the page to the stage in this groundbreaking live poetry adventure!
Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Phil Earle and Anthony McGowan!
Supported by Your Story Denbigh, Trafford Libraries and Oldham Libraries, and developed using public funding by Arts Council England.
Written & performed by award-winning Children’s Author, Oliver Sykes
