We’ll also be welcoming The Mustard Tree Drama Group preseting Tribal, a performance at 6.30pm influenced by our Warriors and the Plains exhibition. The group explore themes of culture, identity and belonging. The Drama Group is based at The Mustard Tree, a centre who supports vulnerable and marginalised adults. The group meet weekly and take part in drama workshops to develop teamwork and theatre skills whilst improving confidence and self esteem.
