Following our Community Procession, we are opening our doors for the first time in over seven years, and you’re invited to be part of the celebration. 

Saturday marks the beginning of our Open House weekend, with an afternoon of free, drop-in activities for all ages. It’s your first chance to explore our transformed space, get hands-on with creative workshops, and experience the buzz of our building coming alive again.  

You can step onto the Main Stage and have your portrait taken, get stuck into badge making and screen printing, or explore exhibitions. You’ll also find heritage displays, memory-sharing stations, and the chance to meet our larger-than-life puppets, Comedy and Tragedy. 

Whether you’re here to create, connect, or simply soak up the atmosphere, there’s something for everyone.

Family Friendly

Citizens Theatre

Drop-in activities from 2pm - 5pm

Free

We’ll keep updating the schedule ahead of the weekend. Keep an eye out for updates.
