Arcadia Festival: Arcadia Adventure Afternoon

Over centuries, we’ve always imagined a better, greener world called Arcadia.
Join us for an afternoon of exploration, performance and discovery.  We start the adventure by taking part in Katy Dye’s Water Rituals, where you’re invited to help decorate the building’s own water sources, turning something ordinary into something worth celebrating.

In the Society Room you’ll be able to vote with your phone and shape the story in Wayne Samuel’s Poempocalypse Croydon, a speculative survival adventure set in a version of our own city. And discover WomanEwer’s Vera in Stanley Halls, a powerful movement and sound piece celebrating womanhood and the natural world.

The afternoon will feature interactive creative interventions exploring the intrinsic value of nature designed by our Youth Environmental Ambassadors. And post-show conversations will explore how we can engage communities and young people in climate action, and how Stanley Arts and others in the theatre sector are embedding environmental responsibility into their work. Guest speakers to be announced.

Vegan and vegetarian lunch will be on sale between 12 – 2 so please join us before the afternoon session for food and conversation.

You can also join us earlier in the day for our Arcadia Wild Morning or book your Arcadia Full Bloom day ticket.
