Event Info

Building on the Welsh concept of Cwtch — a loving hold — Golden Slumbers is a highly visual and physical outdoor show exploring the endless cycle of labour experienced by women through their lives and celebrating everyone’s right to a little rest and recuperation.

Gathered around a feather-filled golden bed, a vibrant mix of movers and musicians celebrate the endless toil, the juggling of priorities, the thankless tasks, alongside the joy and strength of friendship and community found in the everyday muck of life.

Liberace meets your mum sprinkled with a handful of Cwtch!

The performances will take place at Gulbenkian Arts Centre as part of BOing! Festival on Sat 23 and Sun 24 August 2025.

Performances: 11.30am, 1.15pm & 3.30pm

The performances will last 20 minutes.

BOing! Festival is an international family arts festival celebrating brilliant performances and creativity for all ages!

Golden Slumbers is generously supported by Gulbenkian Arts Centre, Arts Council England, Beee Creative, Ideas Test, POW Thanet and University of Kent School of Arts.
