Our Kids Social X Drag Queen Story Time at Z-arts

Gemma Gibb, Associate Editor

OKS X Drag Queen Story Time at Z-arts, Manchester 16 December 2017 Tickets from £4.00 — Book now

We recommend booking early for this exciting collaboration as Our Kids Social (renowned purveyors of “knees up with your nippers”) and Superbia (Manchester Pride’s year-round calendar of cultural events) bring the critically acclaimed Drag Queen Story Time to Z-Arts this Winter.

Playing to sell-out family audiences in Bristol and London, the incredible Divina De Campo (star of The Voice) will be enthralling audiences with ideas of uniqueness and individuality through the tale of a lonely snowflake. Drag Queen Story Stime is full of all the good things – fun, inclusivity, celebrating individuality and an alternative view of acceptance and tolerance “where fairytales are brought to life” and “where dress up is real”.

As if that weren’t enchanting enough, don’t miss the chance to throw some shapes with Divina at the Our Kids Social after-story silent disco. Two channels will feature kids pop for the little ones and 90s faves for the big kids (ahem adults).

Together with wintery arts and crafts, this brilliant alliance offers a unique opportunity to make creative and fun-filled family memories together, plus learn and talk about important issues vital to personal and societal wellbeing. We love everything about this Christmas family event and defy anyone to leave without a warm and celebratory glow.
