ABOUT THE EVENT
Join us for the return of Mini Migration Matters Festival at The Monty, a programme co-curated with the Youth Theatre of Sanctuary, and co-led by Stand & Be Counted Theatre.
Garden Gremlins by Mafwa Theatre is a stay-and-play group for children under 5 and their caregivers.
Led by artist Beatrice Knowles, Garden Gremlins will invite kids to explore creative play with everyday objects in a safe, multi-sensory outdoor environment. It's a fantastic opportunity for little ones to get loud, have fun, make new friends, and ignite their imaginations.
