MANLY VALE

Beyond the crackling fire, between the shadows of trees, past the lapping waters of the dam - a mysterious creature stalks the darkness. Will that scare you off? Or will you make it to the campfire, to hear the tale. Inspired by camp legends, ghost stories, and family histories that we all heard growing up, this play asks how we can come back from the brink after having lost everything. A Campfire Story is an immersive, site specific work that's a modern take on oral story telling traditions. Presented by Arbour Theatre Company and Theatre Versus Everything. On this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 7pm at Manly Dam. Bookings essential.

INGLESIDE

Join in a composting and worm farm workshop at 10am on Saturday at Kimbriki Eco House. Cost $30pp or $50 for a family (two adults and up to three children). Bookings essential.
