SUMMARY:Birkenhead Park Visitors Centre: Birkenhead Park: The Witching Hour
DESCRIPTION:The Witching Hour approaches\nAs dusk falls over Birkenhead Pa
 rk each night from 17 to 19 May 2019\, visitors will step into The Witchi
 ng Hour\, a brand-new outdoor spectacular for Wirral’s Borough of Cultur
 e year\, in partnership with Hull-based Absolutely Cultured. The show will
  be seen in East Park in Hull from 3 to 5 May before it enchants audiences
  in Birkenhead.\nThe Witching Hour will inspire imagination and celebrate
  local tales\, memories and folklore\, exploring stories of local wise wom
 en\, magical mythical characters and childhood memories from these two pla
 ces on opposite sides of the country. The Witching Hour will immerse audie
 nces in a unique and shared experience\, weaving a story between the two l
 ocations.\nBuilding on the landmark project Land of Green Ginger\, one of
  the highlights from Hull’s UK City of Culture programme in 2017\, this 
 large-scale\, outdoor\, immersive performance by renowned theatre company 
 Periplum has invited local residents from each location to share their sto
 ries\, memories and urban myths.\nAs audiences enter\, they will be spellb
 ound by spinning tales of alchemy and legend from the two parks. Featuring
  live performance\, a specially commissioned soundtrack\, pyrotechnics and
  promenading action taking place in and around the audience\, The Witchin
 g Hourexplores local legend and folklore from Birkenhead Park in Wirral an
 d East Park in Hull. Although the main story remains the same in both loca
 tions\, the performances will resonate directly with the two communities t
 hrough the inclusion of local tales that will be woven into the narrative.
 \nThe Witching Hour is free and no booking is required. Performances will
  begin at 9.45pm and last approximately one hour.\nWirral’s Borough of C
 ulture programme is supported through funding from Arts Council England. 
 The Witching Hour received a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant of £10
 0\,000 to help deliver this exciting project. Made possible by money raise
 d by National Lottery players\, the project will capture the stories and l
 egends passed on through generations in two areas of the country.\nFor fur
