Hello from Cornerstone. We have a jam-packed programme of events in November, here are just a few to whet your appetite.
Top Fun Sundays continue throughout the Autumn season. Every Sunday is the perfect Family Fun Day out, offering rib-tickling children’s shows, lots of great free activities to keep the little ones amused and delicious family food. What more could you want?!
- Juggling, live music, puppetry and mischievous storytelling, in Three Wise Monkeys, bring Seeno, Hearno and Speakno to Cornerstone on Sunday 2 November. They come to entertain and enlighten all little monkeys aged between 3 and 7 and their families.
- Folk duo Megson provide a lovely gentle afternoon for ages from 4 in a fun concert of children’s folk songs on Sunday 9 November.
- Pop-up sets, original music and beautiful puppets help to tell three traditional tales in The Magic Porridge Pot, which is brought to us by Theatre of Widdershins, a Cornerstone favourite.
- Children’s theatre from Compagnie Animotion on Sunday 23 November with Silver Moon, for ages from 4 to 11 years. Helda, a poor girl, is cold on Christmas Eve but her imagination is filled with her grandmother’s tales. Jurgen, a rich diplomat’s son, invites her to warm herself by the fire. Helda takes him on a fantastical journey where friendship cannot be bought and imagination is the cleverest thing. Live music and shadow puppetry.
- Lots of jokes to make children from 6 – and their parents – laugh with the return of children’s comedy show Comedy 4 Kids, and a pre-show workshop for ages 7 to 13 years, on Sunday 3 November. Professional stand-ups perform a whole show devised for children. No swearing and no naughty bits.

St Giles Orchestra returns to Cornerstone on Saturday 8 November with A Night in Vienna, a great introduction to the classics for all the family, full of polkas, marches and waltzes including the Blue Danube. On Wednesday 12 November Not About Heroes tells the unforgettable story of two of the finest ‘Great War’ poets, Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. Stephen MacDonald’s acclaimed play paints a vivid and moving picture of their friendship, interdependency, poetry and the conflict that brought them together.
Christmas Crafts for Cornerstone on Saturday 15 November is a free workshop offering the opportunity to work with a facilitator to learn new techniques. Use a variety of materials to make festive decorations for us to use in the building over the Christmas period.
Finally a reminder that this year’s family Christmas show is The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus and, as always with our festive family shows, it’s full of fun, laughs, audience interaction and music to really get you in the Christmas mood. Tickets and full details available from the Box Office or our website.
