HDIF’s Family Disco

Entry from £3pp

Sunday 26th March 2023 | 37 Cavendish Square, London

The HDIF Children’s Disco will be playing their usual mixture of indie pop and soul, and the discos are a wonderful opportunity for kids to bop around to Belle & Sebastian, Allo Darlin’, The Ramones and more, and for their parents to bop along with them.

It can often be hard to get out to club nights once you become a parent, so these discos are as much a chance for the parents to go out dancing as they are for the kids (age 1+).

Music will be played at a reasonable level and they’ll make sure that the songs aren’t played too loud, but if you’re worried about volume please do bring along ear defenders for your kids.

Zog

Entry from £12pp

Friday 3rd March 2023, Saturday 4th March 2023 | 5 Nether Street, Tally Ho Corner, North Finchley, London

Based on the book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

Large in size and keen in nature, Zog is eager to win a golden star at Madam Dragon’s school, where dragons learn all the things that dragons need to know. Zog tries so very hard, perhaps too hard, and he bumps, burns and roars his way through years one, two and three. Luckily, the plucky Princess Pearl patches him up ready to face his biggest challenge yet…a duel with knight, Sir Gadabout the Great!

The smash-hit stage adaptation from Freckle Productions (the team behind Zog and the Flying Doctors and Stick Man) is back and promises to be bigger, brighter and more roar-some than ever before!

With lively songs from Joe Stilgoe and directed by Emma Kilbey, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s much-loved Zog is a magical production for all ages.
