Skip's Family Workshop - Ponyo

The Theatre Royal Brighton is bringing back its popular series of creative sessions with the Skip's Family Workshop - Ponyo. These workshops are specifically designed as themed family activities, offering a chance for parents and children to engage in something creative together. The focus this time is the enchanting world of Ponyo, the Studio Ghibli film about a goldfish who wants to become human. While some earlier information suggested a February date, the confirmed session is scheduled for Saturday, March 21, 2026, right here in Brighton.

If you are considering going, the logistics are pretty consistent with their previous events, such as the Totoro or The Snowman workshops. The sessions are generally aimed at children between the ages of 5 and 10, making it ideal for primary school kids. They typically start at 10:30 AM and last for about an hour and a half. The core experience revolves around arts, crafts, and games inspired by the film's theme, and past workshops have also included elements like a brief tour of the Theatre Royal Brighton venue itself, adding a nice layer of context to the morning.

A key requirement to note is that this is a true family event: every child must be accompanied by an adult, and both the adult and the child need to purchase a ticket to attend. Since tickets are necessary, and the event is confirmed on the Theatre Royal's ticketing page, anyone interested should head there to confirm the exact price and secure their spot for the March 21st date. It sounds like a focused, creative way to spend a Saturday morning with the kids.
