Whatever the Weather
An immersive playscape experience inviting children and their grown-ups to play creatively together.
This summer, Whatever the Weather, a brand-new play installation from the designer of the adventure playground REPLAY (Southbank Centre), arrives at the Unicorn Theatre, Friday 3 July – Sunday 16 July.
Whatever the Weather invites children, aged 0-7, and their grown-ups to immerse themselves in the wonderful world of weather, sparking curiosity and imagination together through sensory play, theatrical elements and sound journeys - dance in a snow storm, wear a cloud, build an ice castle, bask in the sun and discover other surprises along the way.
Whatever the Weather has been co-designed with young audiences through a series of co-created play sessions with local families, run by the Creative Hub department. Through discoveries in these sessions, the creative team has responded to and further developed the play elements which make up the experience. Resulting in an immersive playscape experience inviting children and their grown-ups to play creatively together, get closer to nature and uncover the wonders of weather and how it shapes our everyday lives. Inspired by ideas from local children, Whatever the Weather is an artist-designed space that celebrates the different ways children naturally play - encouraging families to discover, imagine and explore together.
This new play experience is led by Linbury Prize finalist designer Rūta Irbīte with dramaturgy by Daniel Naddafy. After the Unicorn Theatre Whatever the Weather transfers to Theatre Hullabaloo where it will continue from 2 September 2026 - 6 February 2027.
