LATEST NEWS AND EVENTS:

Animated Objects are thrilled to announce that Moonlight on the Lake will be returning to Peasholm Park this October. After a break last year to develop new ideas the popular free family event will be back bigger than ever, with more lanterns and a series of dedicated themes celebrating Scarborough and the history of Peasholm Park’s iconic design. It’s going to be bursting with colour and light and a wonderful way to spend an evening in the beautiful setting of this well loved park.

One of the new features this year will include a magical display in the Glen created from recycled and repurposed materials, illuminated by rechargeable and renewable power. This exciting element of the project is part-funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

And there’ll be plenty of opportunities for some incredible selfies with a number of large scale lanterns specially created to include visitors as part of the action.

The event is free, but pre-booking is essential to ensure your entry time. There will be four time slots each evening to allow more space in the park for people to enjoy the illuminations. The link for booking is https://www.discoveryorkshirecoast.com/moonlight-on-the-lake/ or you can scan the QR code in this post.

Moonlight on the Lake will run for two evenings this year; on Friday October 25 and Saturday October 26 with entries at 5.45, 6.30, 7.15 and 8.00pm. The event will close at 8.45 each evening.

It’s going to be a magical start to the half term holidays and we look forward to welcoming you there.

Watch this space for more details, and follow us for updates.

CHANGE OF NAME:

Those of you sharp eyed folk out there may have noticed we've shortened our company name to simply 'Animated Objects'. That's because our work now extends to being so much more than just a theatre company; we now produce events of all scales; work on an extensive programme of outreach and inclusivity projects; and are constantly pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve as artists and makers. We're also exploring new ways to recycle and repurpose waste products from the hospitality and fishing industries to create beautiful things - more on this in our next update.

You'll notice areas of the website undergoing change over the coming months as we tread carefully through the world of rebranding, but rest assured the work goes on, and we remain as committed as ever to producing high quality work and events for the public to enjoy.
