Riverside Theatres Spot On(line) Children’s Festival 2021

Riverside Theatres’ Spot On(line) Children’s Festival goes digital with an epic program of school holiday fun from Friday 17 September to Sunday 3 October 2021.

For the tenth year, Riverside Theatres will bring you a full program of the best of children’s entertainment from across the nation and the world. This year the Spot On(line) Children’s Festival will be streamed straight to your living room. 

The packed program features a fantastic line-up of entertainment, ranging across music, puppetry, circus and clowning, with live, participatory workshops on music-making, shadow puppetry and circus skills, as well as interactive watch parties where families can join the artists via a live chat for a special Q&A.

This year, the festival encourages children and their families to explore the world available to them right now. With livestreamed shows, online workshops and events focussing on making their own art, music and adventures just from what they have around them, they will see how magical experiences can be created within their very own home.
