Lakeside, the University of Nottingham’s public arts centre, has established an enviable reputation for its year round programme of high quality exhibitions, music, theatre, dance, comedy and participatory events, appealing to audiences from across the region. Lakeside’s work with children and young people - including 3 youth theatre groups, summer schools, and regular Sunday Best theatre provision - has gained enormously in popularity and regularly attracts capacity audiences.
In addition, Lakeside promotes a number of eagerly anticipated annual events including Chinese New Year celebrations, the International Children’s Theatre and Dance Festival, and LUSTRE - the Midlands premier contemporary craft makers’ market. It is also a partner in the delivery of other national and regionally significant events including NOTTDANCE and Theatre Writing Partnership’s Momentum Festival.
Conveniently located on the University Park campus Lakeside houses two excellent cafes, Café L which serves homemade sandwiches, cakes, hot food and drink and Aqua, a bistro and delhi-bar serving speciality coffees, flavoured teas, wines and beers as well as sandwiches and paninis.
Lakeside is the ideal place to take time out, wind down and experience the very best visual and performing arts.

2nd to 10th June 2012
The Lakeside International Children's Theatre and Dance Festival has become a key event in the regional arts calendar looked forward to by children, their families, artists and promoters. It has built upon the huge groundswell of interest which Lakeside's year-round provision has developed through the regular Sunday Best live theatre programme which now performs to some 11,000 people annually. Since our first International Festival in 2005, over 27,000 children and families have enjoyed performances by top companies from Spain, Italy, Germany, Scotland and Québec.
W heee! 2012 is Lakeside's eighth International Children's Theatre and Dance Festival which treated children and their families to theatre performances and outdoor activities over a period of nearly two weeks! As in previous years 2012 included many performances by International Companies, such as Aracaladanza from Spain, Bunk Puppets from Canada, TPO from Italy, and Catherine Wheels from Scotland.
In addition to afternoon, early evening and weekend performances, families enjoyed a weekend of free activities and performances in the beautiful surroundings of Highfields Park during our Family Weekend in the Park. Please see below for more details about this fantastic event!

Review title : Them with Frozen Tails, added by : Lisa (21/12/2010)
Event reviewed : 4-30 Dec: Them With Frozen Tails
"When you take two children under 6 to a performance, you never quite know what reaction you are going to get. However, I have to say with all honesty that I have never seen my son laugh so much at the antics of two people as I did today.
Them with Frozen Tails is a partly-improvised series of stories from around the World, narrated and acted by two very fine actors. There was singing and lots of energy and humour (some of which went over the kids' heads but was appreciated by the adults!)
There was plenty of audience participation and, I think it's safe to say, that the show was enjoyed by everyone there.
I would absolutely recommend this show, either as an alternative to the usual pantomime or, because its very good value for money at £7 per person, or as well. We will definitely be back for more if the show returns next year."
