A summer well spent 💥🎨

What a summer it’s been at The Hub!

Our first full summer family programme has brought cartoons, creativity and a LOT of making to St Mary’s - with over 170 people joining us for activities across the holidays.

From drawing with Lee Bradley and exploring Radical Rewind 🖍️ to LEGO, dough, crafts and plenty of family creativity, it’s been brilliant seeing the Hub buzzing with little artists, big kids and grown-ups getting stuck in too.

A massive THANK YOU to our wonderful volunteers who helped make it all happen - and to every family who came along and made this summer so special. 💛

And we’re not stopping there…

🍂 Our autumn family theatre programme is coming up! From magical adventures to brilliant stories for little ones and big kids alike, there’s plenty more to look forward to at The Hub.

Fancy keeping the family fun going? Take a peek at what’s coming up and find your next adventure. 🎭✨

Some shows make you laugh.

Some make you sing.

Some stay with you long after you've left the theatre...

🐋💙 The Tale of the Loneliest Whale somehow manages all three.

Beneath all the underwater adventures is a beautiful story about friendship, kindness and finding people who understand you.

It celebrates the idea that being different isn't something to hide - it's something to celebrate!

Perfect for children aged 4+ and the grown-ups who love seeing the world through their eyes.

Come and make some magical family memories with us this September. 🌊✨
