VillaGaiety has announced plans for SPARK, a brand new one-day family festival for the Island community celebrating creativity.
Taking place on Good Friday (March 29) SPARK will be the first iteration of a festival for children and their grown-ups at the Villa Marina and will see all areas of the building animated with events including live performances, workshops and interactive experiences.
The theme for this year’s festival is magic.
Family festival
With a programme of events taking place throughout the day from 10am until 6pm, SPARK’s headline act will be Morgan and West; a duo of internationally renowned magicians performing their Massive Magic Show for Kids in the Royal Hall.
Aimed at children aged six upwards, the show is described as ‘one hour of non-stop fun for all the family’ which has toured extensively worldwide.
Completing the line-up, local theatre company Hello Little People will be introducing Magic Unlocked: The Live Radio Experience from their pop-up studio in the Villa Marina.
Drop in
A free, drop-in experience hosted by Michelle Jamieson & Chloe Shimmin, young people will be interviewed about magic with coverage broadcast throughout the building and live to an audience of families, interviewees and festival go-ers.
Tickets for ticketed events start from £3 and there will be a variety of food vendors and ice-cream on offer in the gardens, allowing people to come along and enjoy the outdoor space.
A Sign-Supported English Interpreter will be present at the 3:30pm performance of Room on the Broom to provide a form of sign language that follows the spoken and reading English language to help make the story and songs included as accessible as possible to those who are Hard of Hearing.
