A festival of events for the next generation.
From March through to April we will be hosting the Take Flight Festival of events at The Point, Eastleigh for young people and their families.
Take Flight is designed to take young people on a journey from playful to urgent via theatre, dance, magic, music, craft and more.
During the festival we will be sharing inspiring performances, events and activities for families to enjoy, including performance created by local children and young people.
The first performance of the festival is titled (Circle Dreams Around) The Terrible, Terrible Past, this thrilling piece of surrealist performance has been commissioned by the National Theatre and will be brought to life by The Point Ensemble.
