SUMMARY:The Dippers
DESCRIPTION:Step back to the seaside and meet the women history forgot.\nBefore beach huts, before lidos, before swimming became a leisure pursuit for all, there were the Dippers: the working-class women who guided bathers into the sea, season after season, in all weathers.\nCreated by Michele O’Brien Amy Rose and Teresa Grimaldi, The Dippers is an immersive free outdoor performance that brings these forgotten figures vividly back to life. A purpose-built replica small -scale bathing machine takes centre stage, surrounded by costumed characters, intricate puppetry, automata and music.\nRooted in community and shaped by local voices, this is a show for everyone — curious children, seaside nostalgists, and anyone who has ever stood at the water’s edge and wondered.\nFree to attend. No tickets required. Just turn up and be swept in.\n
