Christopher Nibble (and how to save dandelions) at Square Chapel
On Sunday 29 October at 2:30pm at Square Chapel Arts Centre hear the story of Christopher Nibble. For ages 2+ and written and illustrated by Charlotte Middleton and adapted for the stage by Claire Alizon Hills, Topsy Turvy Theatre, the company who brought you Ruby Flew Too! and Isabel’s Well, proudly present the charming Christopher Nibble in a tale of dandelion daring-do!
The guinea pigs of Dandeville love munching dandelion leaves so much that slowly but surely dandelions are disappearing from all over town.
Christopher Nibble knows that crunch time has come when there is just one dandelion left – but will this plucky little guinea pig have the flower power to save the day?
Written especially for children aged 2-7 (and their big people too) and told with Topsy Turvy Theatre’s own blend of energetic storytelling, handmade puppets, original music and stunning scenery, Christopher Nibble is an uplifting story of one guinea pig’s selfless undertaking to help halt the disappearance of the delicious dandelion forever!
Tickets: £8 available by going to the Square Chapel website and following the link for book now.

Safeguarding Advice Concerning Honour Based Violence
Honour Based Violence (HBV) is not one specific crime; it can include: murder, fear of or actual forced marriage, controlling sexual activity, domestic abuse (including psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional), child abuse, rape, kidnapping, false imprisonment, assault, harassment and forced abortion. This list is not exhaustive. The violence can include planning, premeditation and family /community conspiracy; often the belief held is that the victim(s) is ‘deserving’ of the punishment.
Such crimes cut across all cultures, nationalities, faith groups and communities.
HBV may occur when the perpetrator(s) perceive that a person (or persons) has shamed the family / community by breaking an honour code.

Forced Marriage is a Crime- it’s Your Right to Choose Who You Marry
A forced marriage is where one or both people do not (or in cases of people with learning disabilities, cannot) consent to the marriage and some elements of pressure or abuse are used. The pressure put on people to marry against their will can be physical (including threats, actual physical violence and sexual violence) or emotional and psychological (for example, when someone is made to feel like they’re bringing shame on their family). Financial abuse (taking your wages or not giving you any money) can also be a factor. In the UK Forced Marriage is seen as a form of violence against women, men and children which cannot be justified on religious or cultural grounds. It is a criminal offence to force someone to marry.
