EVENTS SussexEvents The Giant’s Loo Roll // 1 Jun Look out for the biggest loo roll ever on stage in this GIANT of a children’s musical. The villagers living in the town below the giant’s house had better watch out, that loo roll has gone bouncing down the hill and straight towards them! Luckily, the townsfolk find lots of uses for runaway loo paper – one sheet provides a huge canvas for an artist; a tailor uses another to fill her shop with paper pants; and a school class makes a huge dart that can fly. But what about the giant himself – doesn’t he need any loo paper? The townspeople have an answer for that too! Watch out for some frightened sheep, lots of excited children and a fantastic amount of toilet paper in this riproaring new musical by TaleGate Theatre Productions.

The taster sessions will take place in six UK cities, inviting wine lovers to brush up on their knowledge over a glass or two. Providing a sneak peek of what to expect from a Level One or Two WSET course, guests will leave feeling more confident about their next encounter with a restaurant wine list or supermarket aisle. Practical skills, such as what to look for in a grape variety and which wines pair with different foods will be covered, as will the basics of how to taste. Project Oggbots // 2-3 Jun A UFO has crashed over Crawley and your help is needed to save them from the Agents in Black. Expect robots, aliens and mystery in this galactic adventure for ages 7–12 and their grownups! Meet in The Hawth foyer where you will build your very own robot, then join an award-winning, treasure hunt-style performance through the streets of the town, piecing together clues and meeting characters along the way. You’ll have to avoid being caught by shady government agents as you make your way to the mothership for a close encounter of the robotic kind. You’ll learn the basics of electronic engineering and get to take home your very own little robot. Performances begin every 15 minutes in The Hawth foyer (except between 12.15-1.15pm) and each adventure has a strictly limited capacity. Project Oggbots is an immersive, outdoor experience so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for the weather. Can you help to save the Oggbots before it’s too late?
