Lyra Young Company: Take Up Space

Lyra

Free

Shindig. Festa. Przyjęcie. दल (Dal). Rave-up. Mmemme. حَفْلَة (Hafla). Party.
Call it what you want — we’re throwing it.
And whoever you are, you’re invited.

We don’t have anywhere to go that’s ours. Too old for the playpark, too young for the pub. So when word spreads about an empty, it spreads like wildfire.

People see us as loud, lazy, ungrateful youths. But really? We just want somewhere to go. Somewhere to feel alive.

So here it is.
Expect live music, dancing, hoarse throats, ringing ears, and memories you’ll never forget.

Lyra Young Company are a contemporary performance ensemble aged 12+, who work side-by-side with professional artists to make original and dynamic dance theatre productions with live music.

Premiere: Wed 22 October 2025, 7pm
Thu 23 October 2025, 7pm, Fri 24 October 2025, 3pm & 7pm, Sat 25 October 2025, 3pm
Ages 12+ • all tickets free

Macrobert Youth Theatre: Midnight Library

This surreal new play invites audiences into a hidden world within an ordinary library, and what begins as an innocent search for a book becomes a journey through shadow, wonder, and dread where escape is never certain, and the stories may consume more than you bargain for.
