The Lions Part

The Lions part is a small Charity whose core work centres on creating annual street theatre festivals that reignite connection with the seasons, with a specific focus on Autumn and the Winter. What singles out the Lions part Festivals is that we celebrate the seasons in an urban environment, bringing traditions alive for city dwellers. Traditions that are more often fostered in the countryside. Patron Sir Mark Rylance says of the Lions part: "I feel I always learn something about community and spirit and nature when I see the Lions part". The Lions part receives no core funding and relies entirely on donations and one-off grants.
