CHILDREN will be encouraged to let their imaginations run wild while creating an Enchanted Forest next week.

Creative workshops running on Tuesday, August 29 and Wednesday, August 30 will result in Theatre Hullabaloo’s first play installation.

The Enchanted Forest will be situated at The Hullabaloo, a creative centre for children opening in Darlington this December.

Youngsters hoping to contribute to the project can attend workshops taking place at the Northlands Methodist Church from 1pm until 4pm on Tuesday and from 10.30am until 3pm on Wednesday.

The workshops are suitable for children aged six to 11 and combine drama, games and exercises with drawing and painting.

Admission is free but donations are welcomed. Booking is essential, to do so email info@theatrehullabaloo.org.uk with which session you would like to book, emergency contact details, the age of your child, allergy information and whether or not the child can be photographed.
