Calling all builders, dreamers and creators!
Inspired by our half term children's show BOXVILLE, spend the day at Bristol Old Vic building something special together and thinking INSIDE the box. Using nothing but cardboard (and a lot of imagination), we’ll turn simple boxes into BOXTOL, our own carboard city.
Plus, you can expect craft activities, a trail and a dressing up station. All activities are free, with no booking necessary.
Perfect for families, young makers and anyone who loves to build, imagine and play. Come along and help us build something brilliant – together!
What to Expect...
BOXTOL Workshops 📦
Led by the award-winning theatre and puppetry designer behind BOXVILLE, our half term show. Sam Wilde and the Cardboard Adventures Team bring you a relaxed, hands-on workshop open to families of all ages. Drop in at any point during the day and help the city grow. You might create a towering skyscraper, a cosy shop, a winding road or a word class theatre!
