Teach Rex Sunday 9th April
Get ready for the
return of a dino-mite show as Teach Rex return to
Halifax!
After receiving over 1500 5* reviews for
their events and selling out Square Chapel Theatre
every time, the award winning Teach Rex team are
delighted to be bringing this unique, interactive
show back to the families of Halifax!
Teach Rex uses life-like dinosaurs to
perform their 1 hour show, teaching children about
the anatomy and life of one the most mesmerizing
creatures that have ever roamed our planet. The show
is teamed with effects, music and gives children and
their families the chance to get up close and
personal with these fantastic, realistic beasts.
Children will be greeted by baby
dinosaurs and given a ‘Dino Booklet’ which includes a
variety of educational activities. You will also be
provided with coloured crayons, all that is included
in the price of a ticket, in this educational
experience delivered by teachers.
The new show will delve into the jaws of
the most famous dinosaurs of all, the TREX! Delivered
by primary school teachers, the team will take the
audience on an interactive, prehistoric journey,
pinpointing misconceptions surrounding the TREX and
the audience will learn how this iconic beast would
have actually looked. Meet various TREXS and a
velociraptor, giving the audience a realistic insight
into these fascinating creatures.
The show is suitable for
children of all ages (3+ recommended) and has even
proven to be extremely popular with adults. The
educational part of the show runs for approximately 1
hour, followed by a dinosaur meet and greet when
families can get photographs next to the beasts
whilst enjoying a dance.

The Doors Rising Saturday 6th May
The Doors Rising
are a UK based Doors Tribute band capturing the
sound, feel and experience of the psychedelic 60s.
The Band came into being in 2017 when
lifelong Doors fans, Stuart (Vocals) and Martyn
(Guitar) responded to an ad placed by founding
keyboardist Freddie with the idea of starting a Doors
Tribute.
Stuart and Martyn took the idea forward
and over the years the band has seen some amazing
notable talent in Laurence, Wayne, Carl, Jimmy, Eve,
Adrian, Joel and Adam.
Gigs started in Southport where the band
soon grew a loyal following who knew how to enjoy the
psychedelic 60s. The reputation soon spread and the
band was gigging regularly across the north west from
those start up venues to bigger auditoriums.
From 2021 we see our new awesome line-up
with Andy Keegan filling the crucial piano and
keyboard bass roles with note accurate attention to
detail, and one time incumbent, drum obsessed, Carl
Rice returning to bring his 60s/70s classic rock and
blues excellence to the group.
Doors – 19:30
Support (TBC) 20:00
Interval 20:40 – 21:00
