Theatre Hullabaloo’s creative play programmes are now running across the Tees Valley!
Theatre Hullabaloo believes creative play is the engine of learning and wellbeing. When families play together it makes them happier, healthier, and better connected. We already offer creative play to families in Darlington, for free, six days a week – now we offer this to families in Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland.
Through a new programme, Place to Play, Theatre Hullabaloo will bring a range of free creative activities to families in the South Tees:
Creative Play – these spaces are artist designed installations for young children and their grown-ups to take part in shared play experiences. Each one has been created by a specialist early years artist, with specific developmental aims in mind.
Let’s Play – a free play on prescription programme, taking place over 6 weekly workshops led by artist facilitators with specialist early years training. These workshops will use music, storytelling and play to support engagement and development in babies and toddlers, and build confidence for parents. This programme is by referral only. More information about how to participate in Let’s Play will become available on this page.
Make & Do -During half terms, school holidays and some after-school/weekends, Theatre Hullabaloo will run activities for children under 10 to enjoy at Family Hubs.
