Log in and play Wi-Fi Wars, a record-breaking live comedy game show. Enjoy the kind of theatre that seeps into the subconscious with Proto-type Theatre's A Machine they're Secretly Building. Immerse yourself in a video goggle performance with And the Birds Fell From the Sky. The FAMILY events are going to make a splash. Join Cico Rum Ba Ba for an underwater adventure. A 50ft inflatable whale is being transported into Settle Market Place. Will you dare step inside its belly? Don't miss The Queen & the Jester a festival premiere that'll leave you in stitches.

As an addition to our programme we'll be bringing National Theatre Live performances, regular cinema, Film Festival Offerings, relaxed afternoon performances, ballet, and more in our fully surround sound, automated 5.3m screen, wizzy projector, amazing PA and fab satellite equipped hall.
