'What's In The Woods?' - Theatre For Babies (ages 2-3) - May/Jun

Be transported to a soft and cosy woodland, right out of a picture book, where each new season 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 gentle welcome to the world of theatre.

🐞 Join us for a What's In The Woods? Saturday Special – The Little Bug Ball! This one-off, bug-themed adventure will be crawling with fun as we lift the logs and explore the woods in a whole new way. Expect wiggly surprises, fluttery fun, and maybe even a little bit of buzzing mischief! Dress up as your favourite bug, beetle, or butterfly and get ready to wriggle, giggle, and play. 

Audience Feedback:

"Such an amazing show! I took my 8m old twice as he was captivated by the story telling and loved playing with the props after. Super interactive and a developmentally appropriate show that changes/grows based on your child’s age. Can’t wait for next time 🙌🏻" - Fringe Feed
