Summer adventures

Over the summer months, my friends in  Stone and Water are hoping to arrange exciting events in different places as part of several projects

We cannot release definite dates and times yet as we are still waiting for funding to confirm but as the summer unfolds around us and flowers open and butterflies flutter, we wanted our friends out there to know that we haven’t forgotten you and to keep your eyes open for news!

All these activities will develop in conjunction with  Creeping Toad so events will be posted on Toadpages as well - so this is by way of a whetting of appetites - more details very soon!

Derwent Stories

Events across the Derwentwise area - more or less along valley of the River Derwent from Cromford to Derby

Events will range from art and storywalks to picnic days with time to make, think, draw and explore

These events will be free and open to everyone but their structure and activities will be aimed at young people with additional needs and their families

Partners: Umbrella and Derwentwise

 

 

 

Summer excitements

Events in the Southwest Peak area ranging from haymeadows in the Upper Dove Valley to picnics in Taxal and ghost stories and old buildings in the Moorlands

Partners: Southwest Peak, Dove Valley Centre

With the Derwent Stories and Summer excitements projects, we will post definite dates and details as soon as we can. These will be posted here and also on our facebook page

Buxton

And in Buxton, we will be part of the Festival Fringe again
Sunday 15th July TINY! AN UNDERWATER WORLD
We are back as the Tiny! team for another day of making and laughter. Join us in creating a whole submarine world in our sea tent. Mermaids and monsters, sharks, dolphins and seahorses: who knows what will be wriggling in our seaweed? Join us in the Gardens near the young children’s playground.
11am to 3pm Free, Ages 2+

Thursday 19th July LOST STORIES OF BUXTON Buxton secrets: help us invent the lost stories of Buxton. Join storyteller Gordon MacLellan for a morning (or afternoon) of secret passages, treasures, ghosts and adventures. Hear old stories and make up new ones, turning stories into storycastles and wonderwoods. No tickets needed. Drop by and join in. All materials provided.
Buxton Library 10:30am to 12:30pm, 1:30pm to 3:30pm Free

Saturday 21st THE BUXTON PRIDE PICNIC Celebrate Queer Buxton (LGBT+ and friends!) with an afternoon of graceful silliness and frivolous strength. Bring your own exquisite nibbles, an umbrella or parasol if appropriate, and join us for a picnic as elegant as we can make it. Winner of last year's Spirit of the Fringe Award.
Pavilion Gardens – Swimming Pool Lawns 2pm to 5pm Free

With all these summer events, Stone and Water gratefully acknowledges support from The Bingham Trust
