One of the most anticipated events in the Meridian Trust calendar – The Performing Arts Festival – is just around the corner!
This year’s celebration will feature four Hub showcase events from primary schools across the Trust, and a grand Performing Arts Showcase Finale at Weldon Village Academy on Wednesday 8th July.
The Primary Showcases theme this year is Our World, Our Future, celebrating the voices, creativity, and imagination of our primary performers as they explore their relationship with the planet through the performing arts. By using music, movement, drama, and storytelling, each showcase empowers young people to express care for the Earth, reflect on the changes they see around them, and imagine a more sustainable future. Tickets are on sale from Friday 22nd May via links listed below.
