For over forty years, their designs have been made and sold through major companies like Fisher Price, Tomy, Playskool and Matchbox. Their projects include work on brands such as Action Man, Play Doh, ELC and Thomas the Tank Engine. Their designs have sold in at least 115... Read more

Tue 6th August 2024 - Sat 10th August 2024
11:30 & 14:00
Fasten your seat belts as we take to the air on an exciting journey through the history of flight.
Starting with the unfortunate story of how one young man flew too close to the sun, we then race through the middle ages to see how Da Vinci tried to make the world's first helicopter. Our show touches down in 19th century France to see how two brothers, filled with hot air, made a balloon fly, before a connecting flight to Kitty Hawk, USA where two more brothers made a discovery that finally gave humanity its wings.
Featuring a host of historical characters and live experiments, Wings will also have an accompanying workshop where the audience get to make their very own hot air balloons.
Wings is an educational show suitable for ages 5+ and of course... Read more

'Raffo Pape and Woodward' with their team of inventive designers have been quietly creating and developing product concepts for the children's toy industry from their discreet design studio in Walsworth Road, Hitchin. Some of their toys were commissioned directly by the manufacturers, but after 1980, they realised that toy companies are always looking out for new ideas from external inventors and designers. They sell these self-initiated designs under licence through Marketmatch, a separate marketing company.
For over forty years, their designs have been made and sold through major companies like Fisher Price, Tomy, Playskool and Matchbox. Their projects include work on brands such as Action Man, Play Doh, ELC and Thomas the Tank Engine. Their designs have sold in at least 115... Read more

'Raffo Pape and Woodward' with their team of inventive designers have been quietly creating and developing product concepts for the children's toy industry from their discreet design studio in Walsworth Road, Hitchin. Some of their toys were commissioned directly by the manufacturers, but after 1980, they realised that toy companies are always looking out for new ideas from external inventors and designers. They sell these self-initiated designs under licence through Marketmatch, a separate marketing company.
For over forty years, their designs have been made and sold through major companies like Fisher Price, Tomy, Playskool and Matchbox. Their projects include work on brands such as Action Man, Play Doh, ELC and Thomas the Tank Engine. Their designs have sold in at least 115... Read more

Acrobatics, juggling, physical theatre and suitcase full of duct tape.
Tape That! is a charming, light-hearted, non-verbal acrobatic duet. Two performers construct a visual world using colourful tape, object manipulation and partner acrobatics. A simple roll of tape transforms from DJ decks to a spyglass, and is stretched to create physical barriers and obstacles for the performers to navigate.
When challenges present themselves, just how many problems can be fixed with a few rolls of duct tape?
This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather!

'Raffo Pape and Woodward' with their team of inventive designers have been quietly creating and developing product concepts for the children's toy industry from their discreet design studio in Walsworth Road, Hitchin. Some of their toys were commissioned directly by the manufacturers, but after 1980, they realised that toy companies are always looking out for new ideas from external inventors and designers. They sell these self-initiated designs under licence through Marketmatch, a separate marketing company.
For over forty years, their designs have been made and sold through major companies like Fisher Price, Tomy, Playskool and Matchbox. Their projects include work on brands such as Action Man, Play Doh, ELC and Thomas the Tank Engine. Their designs have sold in at least 115... Read more

The Guy In The Luggage Rack
Stockwood Discovery Centre
Thu 22nd August 2024
1pm and 3pm
The Guy In The Luggage Rack is an aerial theatre show about grief, memory and relationship. This narrative show combines physical comedy with striking aerial acrobatics and is the debut live show from She Said Jump.
"Daisyʼs mum died, nearly a year ago now. Sheʼs fine. Sheʼs busy. She canʼt complain. Except sheʼs got this slight issue with an invisible guy that wonʼt leave her alone and itʼs becoming increasingly difficult to get on with getting on."
Daisy is doing her best to keep her chin up and her head down - but as the 1st anniversary of her mumʼs death approaches she begins to realise grief isnʼt something she can put aside indefinitely, and whether sheʼs willing to admit it or not, things arenʼt fine.
From the silly to the sublime to the scary... Read more
