A Bagful of Stars Performance

Bagful

A Bagful of Stars, a wonderfully enchanting story written by local author Addy Farmer, was brought to life in Scunthorpe. 

 

North Lincolnshire Council teams and The New Life Church provided an interactive storytelling performance complete with a live orchestra, music, lights and props. 

 

Over 350 pupils, plus staff and parents took part in the fabulous event, all joining in with the singing and actions that they learnt at school. 

 

Thank you for all of your great feedback, we hope you enjoyed the performance as much as we did!
