Both inside the marquee and at locations across the park local children had the chance to experience a massive range of artist-led activities, including drama and physical theatre, mosaic, Bollywood dance and Samurai flag-making.

In between workshops a very large crowd packed into the marquee to watch performances from each of the schools, including a ukulele orchestra, dance and choirs.  As the day drew to a close we were then treated to songs from a brand new Intergenerational choir created by Plymouth Music Zone and comprising children from Mount Wise Primary and residents from a Devonport care home.

Finally, following their morning schools’ workshops run in collaboration with Ghana Week and PMZ, Ghanaian/French master drummers ‘Sabey’ got everyone on their feet and dancing with a mini concert of sheer brilliance.
