Launching this week - Porto’s Peculiar Playground

Monday, 9 August 2021 14:57

Action Transport Theatre are thrilled to bring some world-class acts to Ellesmere Port this summer for the very first time.

Porto’s Peculiar Playground (Thursday 12th - Tuesday 31st August 2021) is a magical and unique arts & adventure trail created especially for Whitby Park – in the heart of Ellesmere Port.

Action Transport Theatre are thrilled to bring some world-class acts to Ellesmere Port this summer for the very first time. Our Arts & Adventure Trail plus associated activities and events are completely free and we will be accepting walk-ups throughout the month.

At Action Transport Theatre we don’t believe children are the future. We know they are the now, the present. Their individual ideas and imaginations are relevant today and inspire and inform everything we do.

We work with children and young people as creative collaborators, to make professional and aspirational theatre which we share locally, regionally, nationally and internationally from our home in Ellesmere Port…

Porto’s Peculiar Playground has been devised by Action Transport Theatre – all made possible by funding from Arts Council England; Cheshire West and Chester Council; MBNA; The Chester Bluecoat Charity & The Westminster Foundation.
