The Lost Words - Told in Gold

An outdoor theatre performance for all ages led by a flock of birds, Told in Gold features a massive goldfinch nest auditorium and is soundtracked by Spell Songs, the stunning musical interpretations of Robert Macfarlane's workds and Jackie Morris's illustrations.

Spells wrapped around trees, words to be discovered in the woodland and lines of spells perched on branches like starlings. You will meet a huge RAF Heron, a folk singing Barn Owl and a breakdancing Raven. Young and young at heart audiences will love a game of giant conkers and all this takes place in a giant goldfinch nest, sitting in the shade of Heaton Park's beautiful woodland. Suitable for everyone!
