Make, Do and Bop at The Atkinson, Southport 13 February 2018 Tickets from £6.00

Join Our Kids Social for a fun-filled afternoon getting creative with your nippers, before showing off your funky-feet and groovy-moves on the dancefloor. Make, Do and Bop brings together a fantastic arts and crafts session with the favourite tunes of all ages, and mixes it up with an interactive challenge game that is guaranteed to leave all ages smiling.

Start off at a craft session where you can let your imagination run free and create your own masterpieces to take home. The arts and crafts area gives families the opportunity to Make and Do together – everyone can get involved to let creative juices go wild and invent a magnificent and unique family piece just for you!

The OKS silent disco will then invite you to the dancefloor where you have a choice of two channels – kids’ pop or adults’ guilty pleasures – which will you choose? Bieber v Blondie, Candi Statton v Little Mix – YOU decide! Throw your hands up and let your hair down, as you show off your style to your favourite beats. Let the kids do their best Gangnam as you reminisce to Black Box – there is something for everyone. Not only that but we will have the OKS wheel of chance spinning throughout the disco – will you be brave enough to take it on? You may choose the music but the wheel chooses the challenge!

Interactive family fun at its best.
