Mighty Mega

Things to see & do

A FREE club at Discover for disabled children and children with SEN aged 5-11, their families or carers.

Mighty Mega is a longstanding free Saturday morning club for disabled children and children with SEN, and their families or carers — with sessions featuring visiting artists from various art forms, including storytelling, photography, music, dance, theatre and animation.

From 13 January to 13 April 2024 (excluding half term on 10 and 17 February):

Join us for a brand new term of Mighty Mega, led by creative practitioner, Callum Rhys-Williams. Over twelve weeks, we will be exploring ‘The Fields of Fantasy’, an exciting world filled with myths, dragons, giants, fairies, and more. The possibilities are limitless. We will be going on wonderful adventures through the mediums of music, drama, puppetry and storytelling, as we create our very own fantastical world!

Callum Rhys-Williams is an actor, musician and creative facilitator from South Wales. He can usually be found leading creative projects for children and adults alike across London and the South East, and if he’s not doing that then he is probably being silly on stage somewhere!
