Families in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, can now visit a new educational theatre show called “CELLS, VIRUSES, AND BACTERIA!” during the school half-term break. The performance, which features local artist and teacher Rosny Hayward, was added to the official Visit Nottinghamshire listings on February 11, 2026.
The show is part of the 2026 Nottinghamshire Festival of Science and Curiosity, an annual event that brings science activities into local neighbourhoods. It is being held at the Beeston Library, providing a nearby option for parents who want to find activities for their children without travelling to London or the city centre.
The performance uses storytelling and visual props to help primary school children understand how their bodies work. It is supported by the charity Ignite! and the library service provider Inspire, who work together to bring more creative events to community spaces.
Organisers created the show to encourage children to take an interest in science through the arts. By holding the event in Beeston, local schools and families have direct access to professional theatre that matches what children are learning in the national curriculum.
