Iron People at Eureka!
Event description
We invite you to witness a monumental outdoor performance at Eureka!
Where? Outside Eureka! the National Children’s Museum
Inspired by Ted Hughes’ The Iron Man and The Iron Woman, this is the spectacular grand finale to Northern Broadside’s year-long project, telling a new myth for Calderdale as giant creatures emerge from different parts of the valley to confront us about our treatment of the planet.
Made by and for the people of Calderdale, the event features three puppet creatures designed by local children from Todmorden, Sowerby Bridge, and Park Ward, brought to life by Thingumajig Theatre. Musicians from the Elland Silver Band organisation will perform a powerful live soundtrack, including three specially commissioned pieces.
The story begins as the three giants emerge from Calderdale’s rivers, moors, and streets. Joined by local children, they march together to demand action to save the planet. The grand finale will invite everyone – including you – to build a more hopeful future.
Don’t miss this free, family-friendly event, blending music, puppetry, and community spirit into a brand-new myth for Calderdale.
This outdoor event is FREE, but normal admission to the Eureka! museum applies if you wish to visit the Museum. No need to book -just tur up on the day.
