Mikron Presents: Top Of The Wold
Standard : £17 Family (2 Adults + 2 Children) : £45
Get ready for a hilarious and heartwarming journey to the Top of the Wold!
This brand-new play, bursting with original songs, invites you to join the East Riding Mobile Library in a celebration of community, culture, caravans, and peas.
From Bempton to Bridlington, Hornsea to Howden, explore a region barely noticed by the nation it feeds, eroded by the pounding North Sea, can a mobile library -with its complex web of rural stops (and somewhat erratic engine) – pull together the Riding’s finest yarns?
Hop aboard the most charmingly quirky mobile library you’ll ever encounter and dive into chapters that teem with the lives of then and now. From the rolling Wolds to the wild North Sea, discover a place where connection to the land is ingrained, culture is as organic as its produce, and the sea reminds us that we stand on the cliff-edge of a much bigger story.
This laugh-out-loud quest through a patchwork of culture and community celebrates the forgotten, the resilient, and the wonderfully eccentric.
If the story of a county is written in a book, the library is the spine that shows you where to look.
