A Free Jungle Book themed event for families at The Courtyard

The Courtyard is hosting a free Jungle Book themed event to celebrate its upcoming Junior Youth Theatre production on Saturday 5 April.

There will be a range of fun activities for children and families including Facepainting, Transfer Tattoos, Storytelling (10am), Fancy Dress Corner, Arts and Crafts, Pop-up Performances and more.

Booking for the launch event is not necessary, customers are welcome to turn up on the day.

The event will begin at 9am and finish at 11am and will be followed by a screening of the original 1967 The Jungle Book film in The Courtyard cinema. Tickets for the film are available on The Courtyard website or via Box Office on 01432 340555.

This free launch event celebrates The Courtyard Junior Youth Theatre’s upcoming main stage production of The Jungle Book, which runs from Wednesday 23 – Saturday 26 April.

Families can swing into the jungle with young Mowgli this Easter as he navigates the perilous yet wondrous path of the jungle, learning the ways of nature and the law of the pack. Can he outsmart the ferocious Shere Khan with the support of his loyal friends?

“The show features vibrant costumes, tropical sets, and adorable performances from our talented Junior Youth Theatre cast,” says Director, Rebecca Cook. “We are also incorporating elements of British Sign Language, Parkour, and shadow puppetry, as well as music, dancing, and singing into the performance. Our production features an original score and songs, inspired by Kipling’s original text, bringing a fresh and exciting take on this classic story. This family-friendly show is not to be missed!”

Audiences can book their tickets now and experience the adventure, friendship, and uplifting story come to life on stage. Tickets are available at courtyard.org.uk or via Box Office on 01432 340555.

The Jungle Book Launch Event will be in The Courtyard’s Foyer on Saturday 5 April, 9am – 11am.
