A weekend of information and fun for young and future families. Information stands, activities for adults and children, workshops, stories… All with the cross-cutting themes of community, diversity and environmental responsibility.
There will be food stands, but picnics are welcome. A “garderie” (payment by donation) will allow parents to visit the stands and attend presentations while their children play.
The entire event will be no-smoking so that you and your children can breathe easy!
The tables are set for a Grand Brunch in Geneva’s most beautiful ballroom, where the gods and nymphs of legend beam their benign, but blasé, smiles down on you from above.
Six Sundays per season, six chances for a nice lie-in, six chances to add some beautiful music to your eggs benedict: their Sunday buffet is ready to satisfy the hungriest opera and ballet buffs!
Reservation required.

Once a month, from 11:00 am to 13:00 pm, we host drop-in sessions at the Mr Pickwick Pub.
If you’ve watched Whose Line Is It Anyway or seen the Renegade Saints perform and thought, that looks like fun, here’s your chance to join in. It’s barmy, it’s silly and you’ll love it. These sessions are good for anyone, whether you’re looking to laugh off the stress of the week, get a little more self-confidence, or work on some performing skills towards that acting career you’ve always dreamed of.
We’ll do a variety of improv exercises and play a number of games, guaranteed to make you crack a smile. Come along and improvise with us. All levels of experience are welcome! It’s a fantastic way to try improv to see if you enjoy it.
There’s no charge (though any contributions at the end are always welcome). However, places are limited so please sign up here to register.
