A FREE outdoor programme as well as digital events have been announced to provide children with a “world of wonder” as Scotland emerges from lockdown. The hybrid festival has been drawn up after months of planning and replanning and is giving much-needed work to more than 100 freelancers in the arts community who have been hard hit by the pandemic. Sixteen new works have been commissioned by Imaginate for Edinburgh International Children’s Festival which is due to take place from May 25 – June 6. The digital programme will include streamed performances such as Removed, the story of a young man’s experience of the care system, and innovative “live” digital interactions such as The University of Wonder & Imagination, a Zoom magic show.
