'Unique' adventure trail opening half an hour away from Liverpool this summer

A unique arts and adventure trail is coming to Ellesmere Port this August.

Porto's Peculiar Playground will be taking over Whitby Park for over two weeks.

The 'magical' adventure trail is brought to the park by Action Transport Theatre, a professional theatre company based in Ellesmere Port.

The trail has been curated especially for Whitby Park, and is set to include 'peculiar ongoings' and 'curious happenings'.

The park is being transformed with a series of art installations, and artwork from local schools will be featured across the park.

The adventure trail will be presented alongside a selection of live performances, and original music by composer Patrick Dineen.

Activities featured in the playground this year include sensory days, VIP events, and an artist development day.

There will also be a PORTO extravaganza with extra 'on goings' throughout the park, as well as Friday Theatre Days which offers a special programme of performances including circus, dance and theatre.

The trail is set to animate the park through interactive installations and performances.

Porto's Peculiar Playground will take over Whitby Park from August 12 until August 31 and will be open everyday from 10am.
