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
