Looking for things to do with your family this February half-term?
With the holidays now fast approaching, Z-arts is packed with theatre shows, experiences and inclusive activities for children and families of all ages.
Meet the Hatter
By Joss Arnott Dance
Saturday 14 & Sunday 15 February | 11am & 2pm | ages 5+
Kick off your half-term with this spectacular family-friendly dance show!
When no one turns up to his tea party, the iconic Hatter embarks on a magical adventure. Using the power of imagination, Hatter creates his own Wonderland which is shown through breathtaking dance, immersive multimedia, and lighting.
“This is an exceptional piece of dance theatre that everyone will enjoy. Breathtaking skill of the solo dancer interacting with ground-breaking projections takes dance-theatre for families to a new level, taking you on a Mad Hatter’s journey like you’ve never seen before.”
– Liz, Z-arts’ CEO & Artistic Director
Adventures in Wonderland
Our interactive play experience
Various dates & times | ages 1 – 8
Fall down the rabbit hole and step into Lewis Carroll’s classic world where families can imagine, explore, and make unforgettable memories together. Step into scenes from the beloved book, crawl through tunnels, play croquet with flamingos, get lost in a card maze, dress up as your favourite characters, splash into a ball pool, join the Mad Hatter’s tea party…and so much more!
“What a wonderful morning, we all (kids and parents equally) loved the whole experience, the space was truly magical, the white rabbit was fantastic, and we had a blast exploring all the activities.”

This Z-access Day we’re celebrating Spring & New Beginnings with workshops and drop-in activities, including storytelling, music, art and circus.
Z-access Day is in partnership with local organisations supporting children and families with additional needs. It is free and open to all.
Come and hang out with us!
There’s plenty to enjoy beyond our performances and events. Visit our café for food and drinks, browse books in our Children’s Library, get creative with colouring sheets, play in the toy corner, hop on our big red bus or head over to Hulme Park for some outdoor play.
