In 2005 over 5000 people enjoyed Ixilum.

Take a look at our panoramics inside Ixilum for an idea of what to expect. Suitable for all the family. If You Go Down To The Woods Today (Tuesday and Wednesday, 14th and 15th June 2005) Spiders? Heights? Dropping your ice lolly? Cas Public, a sometimes funny and sometimes startling Canadian dance theatre production explore some of the things that everyone is afraid of. Suitable for 6 - 12 year olds and all the family. Romanzo D'Infanzia (Wednesday and Thursday, 15th and 16th June 2005) A childhood tale all the way from Italy that will capitvate the young - aimed at 6 - 10 year olds.
