A Midsummer Night's Tea
Bringing joyful performances to our town centre streets
Saturday 25th July 11am - 2pm
Albert Court, Ramsgate Town Centre
FREE
Step into an enchanted woodland with us as we transform Ramsgate Town Centre into a realm of fairy magic and romantic mischief. In collaboration with the East London Shakespeare Festival Looping the Loop is thrilled to invite you to a FREE, immersive experience inspired by the whimsical, moonlit world of William Shakespeare.
“The king doth keep his revels here to-night: Take heed the queen come not within his sight; For Oberon is passing fell and wrath...”
Whether you’re a curious traveler, a wandering lover, or a seasoned resident of the fairy realm, there is a seat at the table for you. This is a living, breathing celebration of magic and merriment, and it’s open to explorers of all ages.
The magic is brewing, and Puck is ready to cause some mischief! Our event is packed with activities designed to spark your imagination and pull you directly into the story.
Short Performances: Catch snippets of live theatre and fairy revels popping up when you least expect them.
Fairy Craft Workshop: Create your own marvelous, enchanted fairy foliage to wear on the day.
The Love-in-Idleness Quest: Puck has mixed up the love potions again! Help us track down the magical purple flower and reverse the spells before Oberon and Titania notice.
Music, Lullabies and Charms: Listen to or join in with Titania's musical sprites (presented by Inspiration Creative's wonderful Sing and Sign Choir) as they cast their magical song-spells.
Donkey-Headed Games: Try your hand at a game of playful fairy challenges—watch out, or you might end up with the ears of an ass!
Love Potions & Fairy Cakes: Enjoy specially themed woodland treats and magical elixirs that are sure to delight the senses.
This is a space where the boundaries between the stage and the audience disappear. You aren't just watching the fairy court; you are part of it. Expect the unexpected and embrace the general magic.
“I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was...”
Everything is free, everyone is welcome, and we can’t wait to see you there.
Join the Midsummer Crew!
An event this magical doesn’t happen by enchantment alone (though a little helps). We are looking for volunteers to help bring the dream to life.
We need:
-
Performers to inhabit the world as fairies, lovers, and mechanicals.
-
Workshop Helpers to guide our flower-crown makers.
-
Game Hosts & Sprite Referees to keep the fun moving.
-
Tea & Cake Servers to keep the guests refreshed.
