Shakespeare for people who don’t like Shakespeare! PufflingPants delivers bite-sized chunks from Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night and The Merchant of Venice, and demonstrates the beauty of the text through the medium of costume.

Join Queen Elizabeth I, Anne Hathaway and William Shakespeare himself as they present the scenes to her Majesty and to you!

Directions and further information about all performances can be found at our website: www.canterburyshakespeare.co.uk

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
