Eko the sea giant comes to Redhill on 5 September
Come and meet Eko, a 13-foot-tall Sea Giant, brought to life by five world-class puppeteers from Autin Dance Theatre. Eko inspires awe and wonder wherever he roams and is coming to Redhill thanks to support from Surrey County Council's Your Councillor Community Fund, Belfry shopping centre and Reigate & Banstead Borough Council.
Eko the Sea Giant will perform three 25-minute walkabouts in Redhill town centre at 12pm, 1.30pm and 3pm on Saturday 5 September. No need to book, nothing to pay, just turn up and be amazed!

Things to think about now, before the takeover begins:
- Redhill Rising - if you're joining the People's choir to launch Redhill Arts Takeover, you can listen and learn the song on the Franklin Music website. You can also come along to a free rehearsal on Sunday 30 August at 11am at the Belfry shopping centre.
- Redhill's Recycled Fashion Show - designers can still sign up to turn their junk into funk and showcase their sustainable style.
- Redstart Community Showcase - if you're a solo artist or duo with a few songs you'd like to share you can apply to perform on the Redstart Community Stage by 31 August.
