SPECTRA 2023 is almost here!

Lindsey Storyteller and I will be telling stories for Spectra Festival this Thursday, Friday, Saturday AND Sunday until 10pm with the first story usually starting around 6.30pm.

We will be in a new venue this year! (in more ways than one)
The Burns Pavillion is the newly constructed space half way up Union Terrace Gardens just down from the Robert Burns statue on Union Terrace. We’ll be on the lower level with access from that level only.

Union Terrace Gardens is now fully wheelchair and buggy accessible so we look forward to seeing everyone in our warm, cosy storytelling space!

SEE YOU THERE!

P.S.

Sunday evening will be a relaxed session and We Too SC045895 are working in partnership with Spectra.
They will be supporting
– A visual guide
– Sensory ChillVille spaces to access
– We Too! Ninja’s – always “seen in green” with their bright green hoodies!
– Access to sensory aids (such as ear defenders or fidget toys)

and AbleDeen will be parked on Union Terrace with
– The use of mobility equipment, manually power wheelchairs, powered scooters and walking frames (equipment will be limited)
– A safe, quiet place to relax and gather your though

The photograph shows a huge white featureless giant - a large illuminated inflatable sculpture.  It is crouching down and it looks like it is examining something on the ground - perhaps us tiny humans. It is very tall - possibly three humans high. If it were to stand up, it would tower over houses. 

This sculpture one of many visiting Aberdeen as part of Fantastic Planet by Parer Studio
