Feminist Fairytales by Ruckus Theatre

Feminist Fairytales is an interactive storytelling session that gives classic tales a fresh, feminist twist—featuring strong, kind, and clever characters of all genders. Aimed at children aged 3–8, each session brings stories to life through sensory play, sound, movement, and imagination. These playful retellings gently introduce themes of empathy, fairness, and collaboration, encouraging children to think about the world in new ways. With an inclusive approach and a focus on kindness and courage, Feminist Fairytales invites young minds to experience timeless stories that reflect the values of equality and respect—making storytime meaningful, magical, and fun.

11.30am, 1pm, and 2.30pm: A Space to Park a Tale - Poetry Readings

A poetry performance by Ramsgate Poet Sarah Tait, blending history, narratives, and possibilities in a poetic exploration of ‘Ellington’ and its past, present, and futures.

Sarah will stand to perform in an area of the park that offers a visual and imagined perspective of this area’s development over time. Sarah’s specially-written piece is intended to only ever be performed in this specific space / location – a poetic tale ‘in-situ’, words weaving a poetic spell to bless and celebrate this lovely Ramsgate park – and those who enjoy its space - on this day of the longest light.
