The Spots and Stripes

A bright, bold adventure for under 5s!

After a successful run at Discover Story Centre, The Spots and Stripes bursts with colour, music, movement, and tiny words – all created just for young audiences.

Step into a world of colour, rhythm, and endless discovery with spots and stripes! This interactive adventure invites little ones (and their grown-ups) to explore a vibrant universe where patterns come to life through music, movement, and creativity. From matching dots to dancing with stripes, every moment sparks joy and imagination. Perfect for curious minds aged 0-4, this sensory-rich experience combines playful storytelling with hands-on fun, helping children uncover the magic in patterns. Dive in, explore, and watch as the world of Spots and Stripes grows brighter, bolder, and more exciting with every interaction!

A perfect theatre experience for all our Planet Play fans.

The Children’s Summer Season FlexPass is a flexible, money-saving way to enjoy a summer packed with fun, laughter, and adventure.

It’s a pre-paid ticket bundle that gives you access to a wide range of eligible children’s events throughout the summer festival, all at a discounted rate.

Whether your child loves theatre, storytelling, music, or hands-on workshops, the FlexPass lets you secure entry in advance without committing to specific events immediately. Think of it as your child’s golden ticket to a summer of memories – but with built-in savings.

Seating is mostly on mats on the floor so that children and performers can freely move around the space. Chairs are available for anyone who would prefer not to sit on the floor.

We've got you covered with baby changing, disabled access, space to park buggies and even a cafè to get a tasty treat!

Limited free parking is available in front of the building.

If you have specific access requirements, feel free to contact us in advance so that we can make sure your needs are catered for.
