On Fridays we rehearse! Our retelling of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe with @camphillvillag1 is really coming together! Now we are adding all the extra bits of magic - like this beautiful Aslan puppet from our friends at Riding Lights Theatre Company.

Not to wish the week away, but we can’t wait til Friday 🤩 We’ll get to share this year’s wonderful Christmas performance created by the members of The Croft @camphillvillag1. But for now we’ll just reminisce about last year’s production, captured here by @james_a_drury.

What success looks like🤩 Nothing gives us more pride than when the way in which we support our team is applauded by others. With the advice from @pipacampaign we were able to provide the correct support to a returning DSM, now being turned into a case study to support others😍

Come through the wardrobe and step into Christmas 🎄 Final dress rehearsal and then our performance, co-written & coproduced with the members of @camphillvillag1 This is a real highlight of our winter programme. Always a joyous day of creativity, community and celebration 🎉

⭐️‘Coproduction at its finest’⭐️ The highest accolade we could possibly hope for when creating our annual performance with @camphillvillag1 The magic and joy captured here by jdrury photography📸 If this doesn’t put you in the mood for Christmas, nothing will 🎄

As today marks the NDB1 wind down for Christmas, it’s the perfect opportunity to share even more snaps from our project and production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe with @camphillvillag1 Festive smiles and laughter galore 😀 🎄 📸credit: @james_a_drury
