Families are invited to take a look backstage; and to take part in various activities – all free to attend – between 11am and 4pm. Find details of that here, and carry on reading to peek at several alternative arts highlights…

Dapper renaissance man Harry Deansway will do the same, only not at the same time. Details and tickets here.
