The Flying Seagull Project are broadcasting a live Theatre performance to mark the end of term to give school children a proper send off into the summer holidays!

We chat with Actors Sarita, Regina & Eddie and the CEO of the charity Ash Perrin.

This is the story of a redundant lighthouse keeper who embarks on a highly interactive adventure involving pirates, magic, clowning and music. The Flying Seagull Spectacular will be sure to amaze, entertain and have children and even adults laughing their socks off.

The show played to sold out houses before 2020 and has been adapted for live streaming with social distancing measures in place for the performers.

This one off, live stream performance will give children the opportunity to have a shared experience with their classmates whether they are at home or in the classroom.

E-learning resources are available for schools.

All profits will go to The Flying Seagull Project and their work entertaining children in difficult circumstances in the UK and overseas.--Online Live Stream: Wednesday 15th July, 2pm
