Young at Art, in association with the Giant Events Company and Assault Events presents The Giant is Coming!

The Giant is Coming is a unique event combining interactive installation and live performance exploring what a ‘giant’ is from a child’s perspective and how great things can come from small beginnings. Step inside a room filled with the giants of literature, climb into a place where all perspectives of size change and sneak into a space to reveal the secrets of being a Giant.

As part of the event, participants can experience a live performance incorporating music, song & movement that tells a magical tale of the Giants amongst us, resonating with the theme of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad event ‘Land of Giants’.

The exhibition is available for viewing FREE from Tuesday 24-Saturday 28 April, 9.30am-5pm (excluding performance times as detailed below).

Live performances are taking place on Friday 27 April (10.30am/11.30am/1pm/2pm/3pm) and Saturday 28 April (11am/12noon/1pm) . Performances are 20 minutes in duration and each session can only accommodate up to 10 children maximum due to the intimate nature of the exhibition. Places cost £2 per child and the performances are most suited to children aged 6-9 years. Accompanying adults/guardians can remain in auditorium during performances, but cannot take part in guided performances, due to scale of exhibition.
