Rufford Abbey
Standard carparking charges at Rufford Abbey of £4 per car apply
Free, young person led arts festival celebrating the work of Shakespeare comes to the beautiful setting of Rufford Abbey.
Get your Easter holidays started off with a bang at Emerge Mansfield on Saturday April 6th, 12 – 5 pm – an arts festival created by the young people of Mansfield bringing dance, theatre, poetry, music, visual art and family entertainment, celebrating all things Shakespeare.
For the last academic year, young people from Brunts Academy and Beech Academy have worked with emerging poet and theatre maker Matt Miller to create a programme of entertainment for all the family on the first Saturday of the Easter holidays:
* Dress up as a Shakespearean warrior, put on your shield and have a photo taken by our Magic Mirror Photobooth!
* Put on silent disco headphones and join a quest for happiness with live interactive outdoor theatre show First Person by Zest Theatre!
* Explore the island from the Tempest made by students at Beech Academy and get to know the creatures that live on it!
With dance pieces about unrequited love, photography taking a modern slant on Macbeth, short plays, live music and poetry and more, there will be something for all the family to enjoy, and all completely free of charge.
Emerge Mansfield is part of the larger Emerge Project, run by The Mighty Creatives and funded by Spirit of 2012. The project gives young people in the Midlands a creative voice and allows them to have a platform for that voice by setting up festivals across the Midlands. Between 2017-2019, Emerge will have held 24 festivals in 12 Midlands locations and directly engaged with over 1000 young people.
