Following the success of its inaugural year, SPARK returns to the Villa Marina on Saturday 5th July with a bigger and more varied programme of family-friendly performances and activities. SPARK 2025 will once again transform the Villa Marina into a hub of creativity and imagination, and this time with a new theme celebrating nature.
SPARK has grown significantly since its launch, with more events being curated and delivered by local creatives and performers. This year the programme also extends into the Villa Marina Gardens with the Island-based Active Souls who pioneer playful activities and engage children with playground games that encourage wellbeing.
With a programme of events taking place throughout the day, SPARK’s headline performance in the Villa Marina’s Royal Hall will be the Olivier Award-winning company Little Bulb Theatre with their touring production of Four Seasons. Created for children aged 3-7 the show explores the changing seasons with puppetry, music and audience participation, and will visit SPARK as part of a worldwide tour.
Speaking about the growth and ambition of the 2025 programme, a representative of VillaGaiety commented, ‘over 1,000 ticketholders joined us last year on site, so we’re excited to launch this even bigger nature-themed programme which we hope will offer new and engaging performances and educational experiences for families across the island, created and delivered by many fantastic local creatives’.
