What to expect

Introducing The Whale

Something truly magical is coming to this year’s Harmony Festival - The Whale.

“The Whale allows families to imagine the whale’s world up close, inspiring wonder and respect for the natural world through puppetry and storytelling. It’s a beautiful opportunity to connect, learn, and create shared memories.” – Philip Mitchell, Artistic Director, Spare Parts Puppet Theatre
