Creepy Crawly Weekend

Creepy Crawly

4 and 5 July

For kids (and adults) who love insects, and we know you exist, we’ve  got four great Creepy Crawly events over the weekend. It’s all FREE,  which is amazing. But Kids, you must accompany a parent or carer on  all these events ….just in case they get frightened! 

On Saturday and Sunday morning, cosy-up in our snug-as-a-bug Igloo cinema for the Bugs and Beasts animation programme. Over in the  Shrewsbury Room at Rowley’s House, the twittering and tweeting little  ELFs (Electronic Life Forms) have set up their temporary home. And,  if you fancy getting all hands-on then why not join us on The Shift
Time Bug Trail on Sunday afternoon (for kids, but we wont stop adults coming too), looking for bugs and stuff, in the meadow Charles Darwin  explored.

Want even more? Ok, then, there’s the ultimate, mind-blowing, feature  length, creepy crawly film Microcosmos. (See separate entries for  details).

Highlights & News

The Shift-Time Blogging Project

Alongside the main Shift-Time Festival we're running a project to get Shrewsbury and the surrounding area blogging. We want people to use the festival to experiment with all sorts of "social media" services, including weblogs, photo and video sharing sites. The end result, we hope, is to give Shrewsbury the tools to talk to itself about things that matter, whatever they may be.
