Alice in Wonderland performances
East Cleveland Arts and the Youth Theatre delivered fantastic performances of Alice in Wonderland.
Performances took place in and around Cowscote Woodland during the June 2021 half term holidays. Guests joined Alice on her adventure around the woodland. Alongside the outdoor performances, there was a fair of local businesses and special guests to keep visitors entertained.
Folktales in Cowscote Wood
In partnership with Whippet Up, we hosted an illuminated trail around Cowscote Wood in October 2021.
We had costumed characters telling stories and poems around the wood, as well as mini events around Loftus heritage with characters like the Saxon Princess.
Bat walk
Held in September 2021, the East Cleveland bat group held a community walk where people of all ages encountered, enjoyed, learnt and appreciated bats in their neighbourhood.
Woodland pumpkin walk
Together with our woodland partners, we held a Halloween event at Loftus Leisure Centre car park in October 2020.
There was the opportunity to visit MFC Foundation’s bus or have a go on the climbing wall, and take part in more spooky activities from stallholders.
