Dancing at the Palm House

Sefton Park Palm House, FREE

Following the hugely successful event last year, our community dance event simply had to return to Sefton Park! Groups from across Liverpool City Region, of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, will perform in a range of styles. Last year, we cheered on 14 different groups with performers spanning seven decades in age.

There will also be free taster sessions taking place throughout the day, inside and outside this iconic venue, offering the chance to try something new (and maybe discover a hidden talent!)

Cathy Waller Company | You and Us

 

What does invisibility mean to you? You and Us asks why we hide parts of ourselves to fit in, and what it might mean to be fully seen. What began with Cathy’s personal experience of invisible disability, grew into a collaboration unravelling the stories of hundreds of people and challenging the unwritten rules of belonging. 

Featuring emotionally charged dance performance against an original, pulsing soundtrack created by the MOBO award winning Lewis Wright. 

Presented as part of The Angel Field Festival in partnership with Liverpool Hope University. Part of Leap Dance Festival 2026 leapfestival.co.uk/shows

The Recurrence of You

 

The Recurrence of You is a brand-new collaboratively-written play by six St Helens writers.

On Sunday March 29th at 7pm Arts in Libraries will be sharing a rehearsed script-in-hand reading of the play with a conversation after (with tea and biscuits) about how the play was made and why writing a play is different to other forms of story-telling. They can also chat about the play, of course.

Venue: Chester Lane Library

 

The John Smith Show

 

 

John’s show is full of big visual jokes, real Deaf experiences and strong Deaf identity. He shares funny stories about everyday life, family, school and the challenges of living in a hearing world.

The show is lively, bold and full of Deaf humour that everyone can enjoy—Deaf and hearing.

A powerful, immersive celebration of sound, identity and connection.
