 | Part of our Quiet at the Library programme, Books! is anything but… It’s a joyously raucous romp of absurdity that brings together acrobats, fire eaters and circus performers. If you love clowns, this is for you. If you love weird and wonderful storytelling, this is for you. And if you love taking part, then get yourself down the front! Presented by four bedraggled book enthusiasts travelling from town to town on a mission to protect literature, these hardback heroes are looking for radical reading enthusiasts to support their wordy cause. This is a highly visual performance and therefore accessible for d/Deaf and HOH audiences, as well as non- English speakers. Tit for Tat |

Then watch a mesmerising and beautiful performance full of dance, movement and music. This fabulous spectacle is designed specifically for family and festival audiences and lasts 50 minutes.

A storm is coming… Programmed following feedback from our children and young people who cite the Climate Crisis as one of their number one concerns, Flood is a brilliantly visual spectacle that takes you on an epic journey to discover why our coastline and communities have become seasick. Standing under your own personalised sound umbrella, prepare to be catapulted right into the eye of the storm. It will make you laugh, it might make you cry. It will definitely make you think. These performances are BSL interpreted. The Flood |
| Lives of Clay – The Clay Connection | Saturday & Sunday 12pm, 3pm Tuned In! |
 | Lives of Clay is a messy, emotional and exciting show that’s full of heart and made of mud. Drawing on Teesside’s rich history as home to one of the most innovative and interesting potteries of the Victorian Age – the hugely collectible Linthorpe Art Potteries – this performance celebrates the enduring nature of clay. If clay could talk, what would it say? Would it tell us stories of strong, powerful women from ancient myth and modern times? Would it conjure fables and fantasies? Would it breathe life into long forgotten legends? This magical performance brings a rich tapestry of tales to life through classical Indian dance, original music and half a ton of clay. An intriguing and exhilarating experience that melds dance with ceramics, this is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Prepare to be amazed! Lives of Clay – The Clay Collective |
