What is the cost?
This is a free opportunity! It is a delight to confirm that this workshop programme is offered free of charge. The workshops will be delivered by The North Wall team in partnership with educational organisation UCEC.
The workshops will lead to a performance which will be part of OxBright Festival at The North Wall this summer (20 to 24 July). The Festival would involve workshops, performances from other youth groups, food and lots of fun.
The dates of OxBright Festival are 20 to 24 July, 10.00am to 4.00pm every day and it is totally free for your children to be involved in. Ideally, your child would need to be available for the full week but if there is an odd day that you are unavailable then we could still make it work.
