Sewing the rainbow

Join us and find your own colour.
Come and celebrate colour and indentity in this sensory storytelling session.
Gilly loved colours and he loved being different in a world that often tried to make people the same. He discovered that he felt less like one colour, but more like the entire rainbow. Sometimes yellow, sometimes blue, sometimes sparkly silver.
In this sensory, interactive storytelling session, we'll sing, dance and celebrate Gilbert Baker, who invented the pride flag – a reminder that we're all worth celebrating, whichever part of the rainbow you feel like.
