Celebrate the start of the summer holidays with a Disney inspired live music concert in our Summer Sing Along Concertini on Saturday 23 July. Little people are encourage to dance, sing, move around or even just relax on a bean bag while listening to musical theatre tunes and family favourites including songs from The Lion King, Mary Poppins and Encanto.

Concertini are back with Family Concertini with the Estrellas on Saturday 20 August. The duo perform fun dance routines, with plenty of interactive disco fever and upbeat soul and Motown sounds, sure to have even the littlest feet tapping.

Join The Royal Society of Beastologists are a group with one mission: to track down mythical beasts as they try to Catch That Beast on Saturday 30 July. The explorers can’t wait to come to Norden Farm, meet their new members and capture the Monstrous Beast of Maidenhead. They’ve heard it’s been causing all sorts of nuisance.

Errol loves plants so much that he has them growing out of every pot, pan and teacup he can find in his small flat. Errol and his sister Tia decide to transform the rooftop of their flats into a space for a community garden. But they have some grumpy neighbours to contend with first. Errol’s Garden is an interactive musical filled with catchy songs, big ideas and a passion for plants. See it on Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 August.

Pigs and Bears Don’t Come in Pairs! – or do they? A double bill of furry ‘tails’ on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 August. Widdershin Theatre company present well loved stories, retold with puppets, original music and a perfectly petite pop up set.

Summer films include Lightyear (PG) - the definitive origin story of the hero who inspired the toy; and the return of everyone’s favourite little troublemakers in Minions: The Rise of Gru (U).
