Featuring worms, slugs, snails, spontaneous outbreaks of ant dancing and plenty of fun insect related facts, Grass uses performance and puppetry to inspire children to look closely at the world around them, to get mucky and play!

Presented by Ian Nicholson & Old Salt TheatreI’ll Keep Waiting on the Pavement for the Ice Cream Van to ComeSunday 16 August @ Payers Park12pm, 2pm & 4pmAdults £6/ Children £5/ Family £20 (2 adults, 2 children)40 mins/ For ages 12+

Ice cream vans are a British icon. In their heyday, 20,000 chimed in our streets but

now there are less than two thousand: ice cream vans are at risk of extinction, pushed into irrelevance through austerity and social change, something that is echoed in so many other bastions of our cultural identity.

I’ll Keep Waiting On the Pavement for the Ice Cream Van to Come charts the story of the rise and fall of the ice cream van, and our relationship with what it means to be British, through the medium of Mr Whippy.......
