This festive season we will be welcoming local artist collective the Birdcage Stage to the Palm House for the very first time this December. Birdcage is working with the Palm House for the Autumn/Winter Artist in Residence with thanks to the Fanchon Frohlich Estate. We will be making additions to this programme with special events run throughout! Keep an eye on our website and social media for updates. A golden gilded birdcage will house pop-up performances inspired by the changing seasons, winter stories and live music from selected local acts. A beautiful collection of brightly coloured bird houses will come to life with stories and songs from local school children, musicians and spoken word artists.
