Be transported to a soft and cosy woodland, right out of a picture book, where each new season of stories is full of natural wonders waiting to be discovered by young, inquisitive minds. Enjoy an engaging and interactive story by the campfire before embarking on your own sensory exploration of the woods.

Tailor made for audiences aged 0-3 and filled with performance, puppetry and play, What's In The Woods? is a genuinely relaxed experience. Wriggling, wandering and making noise are all part of the show.

Our performers are used to little ones doing what little ones do, and nothing your child gets up to will distract them. Leave your worries about sitting still in a dark room at the door!

🐛 Bug Ball Special

The woods are alive with tiny creatures in these special sessions. Creep, crawl and flutter your way through a miniature world made for little ones to explore, wiggle and wonder. Not to be missed!
