The February half-term is here! If you’re in need of some distraction for your little ones then Pound Arts in Corsham has got your back with a week jam-packed with fantastical family shows, kids films, and plenty of arts and crafts workshops to keep tiny crafters cutting, painting and sticking to their heart’s content.
As well as regular Pound Arts favourites Rock the Tots and Playtime, we welcome Little Seeds Music to The Pound with their magical, musical fairy-tale for families, Cinderella Ice Cream Seller.
Live Family Shows
Little Seeds Music
Cinderella Ice Cream Seller
Get your dessert spoons ready for a tale of perseverance, princes, palace balls, glass slippers and, um, ice cream? Over the last four decades, Cinderellas has become the kingdom’s most beloved ice cream company, with a parlour on every street corner. But how did a humble street seller with not a penny to her name end up as a multimillionaire business woman with her own ice cream empire?
In this new musical for families and children, join Talvi and Caldwell, loyal employees of Cinderella’s, as they share her rags to riches tale, and confront their own desires, hopes, and the magic that lies within each scoop of ‘Cinderella’s’ legendary ice cream.
Perfect for children and families alike, this exciting musical retelling of a fairytale classic promises a delightful blend of storytelling, live music, and theatrical magic that will capture your heart and tickle your taste buds.
