SUMMARY:The Little Bird Artisan Market
DESCRIPTION:The Festival teams up with Little Bird Artisan Markets to bring you colourful characters\, music and puppetry throughout the day. \nWatch out for the Have-a-Go Pirates\, Monsieur Monsieur the Mime Artist and characters from Alice in Wonderland mingling with buskers and community performers. \nHighlights of the day include tricycle-pulled puppet shows from Thingumajig Theatre and the Rock Choir. \nLots of free entertainment whilst you browse the curated stalls from independent traders across the region. \nThe running order for the Market Place Zone is: \n\n\n\n9.30am-10.30am\nPuppets for Breakfast (The Unicorn)\n\n\n10am-10.30am\nRock Choir\n\n\n10.30am-11am\nMonsieur Monsieur\n\n\n11am-12noon\nA La Puppet Carte\nStumbling Over Eden (Claro Lounge)\n\n\n12noon-12.30pm\nHave-a-Go Pirates\nTrinity Singers\n\n\n12.30pm-1pm\nLily Worth\n\n\n1pm-1.30pm\nWonderland characters\n\n\n1.30pm-2pm\nHave-a-Go Pirates\n\n\n2pm-2.30pm\nPassion for Movement Dancers\n\n\n2.30pm-3pm\nSteve Bonham\n\n\n\n\nHave A Go Pirates\n \nAlthough these pirates might look the part they haven’t really got that much experience pirating. Actually they haven’t got any\, but they’re trying really hard. \nAs they make their way through the crowded streets they practice their pillaging techniques\, although being so overly critical of their own performances they never actually manage to get any pillaging done. \nWith their ‘Practice Pirate Ship’ and their pirate wits about them all around will want to join in the banter and help them become the true pirates that deep down they know they are. \n\nA la Puppet Carte\n \nOn the menu is not one\, not two\, but three pop up puppet stages built onto the backs of electric tricycles. Each mobile stage is a show full of surprises\, fun and heart-warming stories of friendship and a sense of home. Stories include the Story of the Scary Noise and the Magic Samovar.

But when a friendly whale shows him the truth of the sea\, his life is changed in ways he could never have imagined. The ocean comes to life around him with more beauty than he knew existed and as time passes it changes him for the better. \nFilled with energy\, light and sound\, this show for all ages shows a world usually hidden from view below the waves. With plenty of laughs\, special effect\, movement\, live audio and light effects\, it’s guaranteed to leave you in awe at the wonder of the sea. \n3.30pm – 4.15pm \n\nLocal Performers\nEnjoy some super local performers throughout the day\, including: \nRipon Goes to Bollywood \nImage credit: Nathan Ward\nTrinity Singers \n \nRipon U3A Ukele Band \n \nCricket on the Hearth \n \nTrinity Handbells

SUMMARY:Drama at the Workhouse
DESCRIPTION:Following on the success of last year’s Jubilee at the Workhouse\, the museum will once again come alive with Victorian characters based on real lives.  \nExplore the Workhouse corridors\, immerse yourself in its history and hear tales from within the cloistered walls.  \nSee the staff who were charged with maintaining the strict rules and judge whether they were successful. Smell scents of summer blossom in the well-tended gardens or carbolic soap and cooked cabbage in the kitchen and maybe hold your nose as the midden is mucked out. Learn the stories of those you meet or chance upon\, from the Marquess of Ripon himself to the lowliest down and out. But above all don’t get on the wrong side of the Matron! \nFind out if you’d like to play a part in next year’s festival as a community performer\, maybe you’ll be inspired to join the lovely group of volunteers or just come along and experience a day in the life of a Victorian Workhouse. \nCost of admission gives access to all three museum sites and optional 2 hour drama workshop for ages 12+ at 10.30am or 1pm. \nUsual admission charges apply
