Immersive sensory performance for kids

Join sound collectors Drip and Drop, and their friends to discover incredible new sounds that can be found from dripping ice and giant bowls of water inside the enchanting and totally absorbing world of Drip Drop Play.

Drip Drop Play is a joyful and calming sensory experience that encourages children and adults to listen and explore in an immersive colourful world of ice and water.

Drip and Drop are sound collectors who travel the world looking and listening for beautiful sounds to collect and show people just like you. You are invited into the magic of the Drip Drop world through lighting, song, meditation and listening games.
