Join us for a Moomin-style picnic to mark the finale of a fantastic week of city-wide events for Refugee Week, part of the Moomins’ 80th-anniversary celebrations.
In response to Dana Olărescu’s floating installation in the docks: You Look as Though You Might be a Relation, the day will celebrate the vibrant communities of our city and that welcome is key to our city’s identity.
Highlights of the day will include:
Global flavours - free food tasters
Children’s games from around the world
The Music Works Bus: interactive music workshops
Free facepainting and collage
Reading Corner and Story Time
Moomin puppet show, Mischief and Mystery in Moominvalley
Free ice cream, courtesy of Ben & Jerry’s
Bring your family, friends, a picnic, and maybe a small welcoming gift for a stranger, as we celebrate community as our superpower.
Free, no booking required. All are welcome.
King’s Square
The installation and its associated events has been co-commissioned and co-produced by Counterpoints Arts and Gloucester Guildhall, made possible by the support of Moomin Characters Ltd. in celebration of 80 years since the publication of the first Moomin story.
Moominmamma’s Jam of Kindness - Storytelling & Craft Workshop
Make a day of it with a storytelling and crafts at the Museum of Gloucester earlier in the day.
