This February, something magical is coming to Broad Street, Nottingham! The talented young people from our Sneinton Theatre Making Club are ready to present Sneinton Light Adventure, a special outdoor theatre performance created as part of our Stage the City project.
Since November, a group of 8–13 year olds have been meeting every Wednesday at the Greenway Centre, guided by the brilliant Theatre Director Laura Ryder. These after-school sessions have been full of storytelling, movement, games, and creative play. Whether it’s acting out characters, experimenting with movement, or collaborating on new ideas, the young people have been discovering the joy of bringing stories to life, all while making new friends and sharing laughs along the way.
For Nottingham Light Night in February 2026, the group has transformed their ideas, energy, and stories into a magical outdoor theatre experience. The Story of the Sneinton Light Adventure follows the brave explorers as they adventure through a mystical reimagining of Sneinton, exploring the Haunted Woods, the magic windmill and the lair of a legendary dragon!
Expect playful and imaginative storytelling and creative surprises as the young people light up Broad Street with their unique interpretation of Sneinton life. It’s a celebration of the creativity and the incredible talents of these young performers as every member of the club has helped shape the performance, making it truly by the young people.
