We are delighted to announce our 2026 family Christmas show: Sprites! In a forgotten corner, sprites are sleeping… Their home is all but forgotten by humans - that is until Lina storms through. She’s had a rubbish day at school and just wants to be left alone. She has no idea that she’s about to encounter the sprites… Follow Lina into the enchanting world of the sprites: sensory and full of surprises. Sit in our magical glade, hear a story from some unusual new friends, then get creative in our craft den - all whilst staying cosy and warm indoors. A storytelling show with puppetry and music, from the producers of GRUE, perfect for children aged 4-9 and their families. Made especially for small audience groups, tickets limited. 📍Scarborough Library ⏰12th-23rd December 2026 🎟️Pay What You Can Tickets are on sale NOW! Visit our website for more information and to book your tickets: link in bio SPRiTES is commissioned and produced by ARCADE, funded by @aceagrams and Cellnex Community Fund, and supported by Scarborough Library. @davieswords_tsw @bluebeany_art Design by @rebeccadrury.design An illustration of a young girl with ginger space buns looking into a glowing magpies nest filled with exciting shiny objects.

kinda chic to run an arts collective. kinda chic to support northern women, trans, & non-binary artists. kinda chic to be from hull. kinda chic to be a feminist. kinda chic to hate AI. kinda chic to speak up for the people who aren’t being heard. kinda chic to make stuff that matters with the people you love. so chic x
