- Tour celebrates upcoming Christmas pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk
Hall for Cornwall’s Get Creative team are inviting families to drop by their local library and get involved in free creative activities exploring stories, song, dance, and art during October half-term.
All sessions will be themed around the forthcoming Hall for Cornwall pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk, and the sessions will offer people of all ages a chance to fire their imaginations through the much-loved fairy-tale.
These free-to-attend workshops will take place in libraries across Cornwall during half term from Monday 28th October to Friday 1st November, and Jack and the Beanstalk goodies and tickets will also be available from the team during the sessions.
Helen Tiplady, Hall for Cornwall’s Deputy Creative Director, said: “We’re thrilled to be working with Cornwall’s libraries again – these are spaces in which the imagination of children can run wild, and that’s what Hall for Cornwall and specifically our Get Creative programme is all about. As we look ahead to our giant Christmas extravaganza we can’t wait to spark young minds and spend time together getting creative.”
Councillor Carol Mould, portfolio holder for Neighbourhoods, said: "We are incredibly excited to welcome the Jack and the Beanstalk workshop tour to our libraries this half term. This fantastic, free event offers children a chance to dive into the magic of storytelling in a hands-on, engaging way. Libraries are more than just a place to borrow books - they are a hub of creativity, learning and community connection. Working in partnership with the Hall for Cornwall reinforces our commitment to making our libraries vibrant spaces where stories come to life and inspire a lifelong love of reading."
The Get Creative team work with more than 11,000 young people across Cornwall each year, working with schools, young people and the wider community, inspiring the next generation of creators and theatregoers and opening up dance, music and theatre to as wide an audience as possible.
