The show is set in a delightful green meadow with a river running through it. 'Each Peach Pear Plum' is a game of I spy for little ones and their families. With songs and music the production brings to life a variety of nursery rhyme characters played by a wide range of puppets, all on their way to Mother Hubbard’s for some Plum Pie.
Showing at 1 pm and 3 pm, this performance is suitable for ages 3+.
To commemorate Chinese culture and history, the Dragon Boat Festival and Chinese New Year celebrations will be the prime events to be celebrated each year in the North West.This event will start at 11:00 am at Dock 9, Huron Basin.
Last year's 2012 UK Chinese Dragon Boat Festival Celebration was a great success and attracted 15 Dragon Boat teams and a modest crowd of lively supporters and spectators.
This year’s event is destined to attract twice as many Dragon Boat teams from local communities, universities, corporates, and charity fund-raisers all competing for this year’s winning trophy.
Like last year, there will be a showcase of high-quality traditional Chinese cultural attractions, such as traditional lion dances, folk dances, music, songs and Chinese calligraphy and a bite of traditional Dragon Boat Festival food!
