OILY CART- THE LOST FEATHER STORYTELLING SESSION- ROCHDALE CENTRAL LIBRARY TUESDAY 30TH MAY
The magical, musical, sensory Cart is wheeling its way across the UK, delivering Oily Cart’s unique brand of multi-sensory mayhem, designed for all children, especially for disabled children and their families.
In this interactive, accessible storytelling session, everyone is part of the action! All together, you will open up the Cart – bursting with colours, textures, music and puppets – to discover the story of ‘The Lost Feather’.
This storytelling session features live music and sensory play. The tone is fast, upbeat and noisy. It lasts about 45minutes and has no interval. It’s a relaxed environment where children are able to move around and make noise, in fact it’s encouraged!

To the Moon and Back on Friday 31st March 11am and 1.30pm at The Met.
Concrete Youth present To the Moon and Back – an intergalactic sensory theatre show exploring space, adventure and the importance of family, for audiences with profound and multiple learning disabilities.
Astronauts – Planet Earth needs you! Alex and dad, Gareth haven’t been getting on too well lately. After the death of his mother, Alex has thrown himself into writing his stories; his newest one is about space, but his Dad thinks all of his stories are childish. With the help of Lena, their new babysitter, Alex and his dad go on an adventure to the moon and back and together they save the world along with your help too! Travel through a meteor shower, make a wish upon a star and visit Mars and the moon, all within a magical, inflatable planetarium dome!
In addition to a trip to the moon and back, ticketholders of the production will also gain access to free pre and post, online sensory stories with a member of Concrete Youth staff – before you enter the theatre, experience an accessible, online sensory story version of the production to prepare you for what to expect at the show, get to know the characters, what will happen and meet some other audiences that you will meet when you get there!
To the Moon and Back is supported by Arts Council England, Hull City Council, Interplay Theatre, Back to Ours and Middle Child.
