Programme highlights:
The Whale, various times
Meet a giant whale with surprises and stories in his tummy! Enclosed in a lobster-net fence and guarded by a nosy Fish Wife, brave swashbucklers will encounter a shipwrecked Pirate with a treasure tale to tell and a real live Mermaid with a haunting siren’s song and an intriguing secret.
Costume Store, 12pm to 4pm
Want to look the part for our underwater themed adventure? Then look no further than the costume store. This is your one stop shop to create and make your own under the sea inspired head wear just for the occasion.
Prop Stop, 12pm to 4pm
Arm yourself with props and a camera, set your scene and start snapping! Whether you’re taking a selfie with a clown fish, wearing a seaweed feather boa or adorning a mighty pair of jaws, we’d love to see your photos so don’t forget to tag us #salisburyartscentre
