A Whale of a Day will return for another free family day out on Friday 25 July, bringing fun, education, and environmental awareness for children and young people.
After a successful event last year in Sutton on Sea, Circo Rum Baba’s 50-foot inflatable sperm whale is coming National Trust Sandilands.
The experience will invite attendees to step inside the creature for an immersive and interactive theatre experience that will transport them to the depths of the ocean.
The event is free to attend, although capacity within the whale is limited per timeslot, which can be booked at https://awhaleofaday.eventbrite.co.uk
The performance will shed light on the challenges faced by sea creatures and their ongoing struggle for survival amidst ocean pollution.
Beyond the whale, the event will offer activities for all ages, a food stall, plus interactive stalls from local and national organisations dedicated to nature and the environment.
Rachel Marriott, property operations manager at National Trust Sandilands, said: “The land works at Sandilands have only just been completed, so the site isn’t quite at its best just yet, but that’s all part of the story. We’re right at the beginning of an exciting transformation.
“Over the next five years, nature will slowly take hold, the wetlands will come to life, and wildlife will return in abundance. It’s going to be a wonderful place. So, we’d love for you to join us for A Whale of a Day and be part of this journey from the very beginning.”
Councillor Graham Marsh, East Lindsey District Council’s representative on the Story Tellers Culture Board, said: “This event provides the perfect opportunity for families to connect with nature, deepen their understanding of fragile marine ecosystems, and importantly, be inspired to become active champions for the protection of our beautiful East Lindsey coastline, beaches and sea.
“I am delighted we have been able to make this event possible through Story Tellers and the support of Arts Council England, and to further an initiative that so effectively combines entertainment with vital learning, igniting a passion for our planet in the next generation.”
