Upcoming Wicksteed Charitable Trust Events
Are you planning a visit to Wicksteed Park? We have a range of events that are fun, creative and support Wicksteed Charitable Trust.
Here are the upcoming Wicksteed Charitable Trust events:
Art in the Park – Dance
Join us on the 31st of January 2026 from 1pm until 3pm for Art in the Park with an energising session of dance in the Learning Centre.
This session will be led by BHVA (Becky Hurrell Voice Academy) tutors and will use dance and rhythm in a way that’s accessible, inclusive, and confidence-building for all young people – especially those who might not usually take part in arts activities.
The workshop will blend musical theatre, tap, and pulse-inspired movement to create a space where young people can channel energy and emotion through rhythm and movement.
Art in the Park is free to attend, but spaces are limited so don’t wait to book until it is too late.
Find out more or book your free space here! Get your dancing shoes ready!
