About Family SEND Workshop: Puppetry with Polka

families dancing in the learning centre

Join Polka Theatre for this inclusive, sensory-rich workshop for SEND families, inspired by Story Explorers. Participants of all ages and access needs welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Families will begin with a gentle, multi-sensory storytelling experience (sounds, textures, movement), inviting all voices to respond. We will then create tactile puppets, using a variety of materials you can touch and explore. Expect 30 minutes exploration, discovery and expression in a welcoming space.

For the last 30 minutes of the session you will then get to freely adventure in the Story Explorers exhibition, where you will continue exploring and playing together.

Please book one ticket for every member of your group.

If you require any other access support, please contact us on familylearning@bl.uk
