Prescot Town Centre is set – once again – to be transformed into a chaotic festival of fun as the Serious Nonsense Festival returns.
The festival kicks off on Friday 11 August with a whole day of FREE workshops at Shakespeare North Playhouse, to celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop.
Across the rest of the weekend, there’ll be plenty more music to dance and sing along to, be amazed by the acrobatic skills of Black Eagles, have your fortune told by Madam Zsa Zsa, get up close with life-like dinosaurs and look out for the giant cheeky kangaroos!
And back by popular demand, children will once again have the opportunity to venture inside the belly of a huge inflatable whale – Plastic Ocean by Circo Rum Ba Ba.
There’s a packed programme of shows at Shakespeare North Playhouse, including family entertainment, poetry readings from award winning poets and Tales from the Vicarage with Reverend Richard Coles and special guest Lady Anne Dodd.
The majority of entertainment is FREE and the ticketed shows at Shakespeare North Playhouse are all ‘Pay What You Decide’.
Don’t miss Mr. Lear and the Rocket by Walk the Plank featuring Imaginarium Theatre, Cheapskate Catering by Vamos Theatre, Box and The Crow House by Circo Rum Ba Ba, Got Your Nose By Tin Arts, Kit and Caboodle by Thingumajig Theatre, and Phileas Fogg Victorian Hot Air Balloonists.
