A fun, family-theatre show celebrating animals and nature is coming to the East Riding this May half-term.
East Riding Libraries have formed a partnered with not-for-profit arts company, Dens & Signals, to bring their tour of Animals!, to the local area this May.
The fun and thought-provoking shows are aimed at families with live singing, jokes and slapstick humour.
Performances will take place Wednesday 28 May to Thursday 29 May.
Thanks to funding from Arts Council England, Dens & Signals will be appearing in four East Riding Library locations, including two rural mobile library stops.
The East Riding Libraries mobile library service for Rawcliffe and Holme-on-Spalding-Moor will also be in the villages at the same time as the shows, so there will be a chance to grab a book before visiting the theatre.
Scheduled performances:
Wednesday 28 May
- 10:30am – 11:30am – Leven Library
- 3:30pm – 4:30pm – Haltemprice Library and Customer Service Centre
Thursday 29 May 2025
- 10:30am – 11:30am – Rawcliffe Village Hall
- 3:00pm – 4:00pm – Holme-on-Spalding-Moor Village Hall
The shows will feature original songs and empowering themes.
These performances are suitable for families with children aged six plus. Tickets for these events are £3 per child, adults do not need a ticket.
Please note there is a maximum of one accompanying adult per child due to limited space. These ticket prices have been subsidised to bring affordable events to communities across the East Riding.
Hayley Clark, arts in libraries officer for East Riding Libraries, said: “We are really honoured to be able to host Dens & Signals and bring a fun show highlighting important environmental topics to East Riding families.
‘’This is another great example of how we are able to bring quality theatre productions to local communities, thanks to Arts Council England funding.”
Councillor Nick Coultish, cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: ‘’Dens & Signals, supported by Arts Council England, is a fantastic opportunity for families to enjoy a fun and thought-provoking performance that celebrates animals and nature.
‘’I encourage families to take advantage of this wonderful event, which promises original music, live singing, and plenty of laughter. It’s a great way to spend quality time together while also supporting the arts in our community.’’
