Performances for all Ages at Croydon Harvest

This October, Croydon Harvest brings live performance into the streets, gardens, cinema and public spaces of the town centre. Come for music, circus, theatre, dance and stories.

Over the weekend on 3-4 October, from 12pm-5pm, come along to enjoy a wide range of music for free at the festival. 

TOAST, Pif-Paf Theatre

Follow the Guild of Toasters through the seasons in a big-hearted show about food, dance, live music, songs and stories from around the world. Expect flying pancakes, singing, dancing, Cypriot doughnuts, nine-tailed dogs and wild grannies.

The Learned Pig, Matt Rudkin

Step into the theatrical world of Croydon’s Walnut Fair. Matt Rudkin’s new commission brings John Nicholson’s Menagerie of Miracles to life with puppets and extraordinary characters, including the famous Learned Pig.

The Farm Yard Circus

Hay bales, wheelbarrows, a tractor tyre and an old scarecrow become the setting for a family-friendly circus show with acrobatics, juggling, theatre and live music.

Roaming encounters

There’s much more happening in Croydon during Harvest! Across the weekend, meet giant animals, listen to stories, see and help build interactive structures.
