A fantastic time travelling performance inspired by The Stewart Family. ‘From waterlilies to desert sands’ A theatrical performance by Wolds Wonders at 12pm and 2.30pm
The Wolds Wonders members are all adults with learning disabilities and through a mix of original song, drama and dance, they will give you an entertaining and humorous glimpse of what life might have been like with the Stewarts, both at home and on their travels to exotic places.
