The Boo presents an interactive exhibition features two fantastical tales, ‘The Baum Rabbit and The Fairies’ and ‘The Tale of Mother Red Cap’, once associated with the Mon­stone, a large stone found standing on the moorland above Whitworth on the South Pennine Moors. There is accompanying audio to accompany the exhibition. A QR code to access these will be available at the exhibition. Please bring a smart device(s) and headphone(s) to access this.

This exhibition co-insides with the launch of David Chatton Barker’s book featuring the two tales with illustrations by Bob Frith and Lucy Atherton. Copies of the book and record will be available to buy at The Boo during the exhibition. The Boo’s current programme of events is “Pay What You Can” to make all events affordable. However if you are able to donate the price of a ticket this will help The Boo to continue to keep theatre affordable to all.

Paddy at the Carpark!

Paddy Campbell is creating a sculpture as part of a forthcoming series of new works of art to be placed at The Whitaker Museum in Rossendale. The sculptures will utilise several felled beech trees, reflecting their placement and the environment in which they have grown.

While the sculpture is still young and in a state of development there is a definite direction to the works progress. The sculpture is robust and tactile – retaining vigour, catching sunlight and the sounds of wood. There are more on the way over the winter.

“As part of the RAT this year I feel it would be nice to view this work as it develops. The sculpture is outside and you are welcome to stump up and have a look. The sculpture can be viewed at my outdoors studio – the top car park at The Whitaker, Haslingden Road!”
