Performances
11am, 12.30pm, 2pm and 3.30pm | Great Map
Head to the Great Map to celebrate the year of the Dragon with a range of incredible performances from local groups.
This year's performances include a Taiwanese ribbon dance, Korean harp, a martial arts demonstration and - of course - the magnificent lion dance!
Details: The Great Map has limited capacity, so wristbands for each performance will be handed out on the day to ensure as many people as possible can attend a show. Spectators will be asked to sit on the floor; for those unable to do this, an accessible viewing area will be provided. All visitors will be required to leave the Great Map before the next performance begins.
