“The funnest day at school ever!”

“I’m in heaven right now!”

Grown-Up’s Reviews

“Everyone involved was friendly, patient and calm & we felt that they showed a great awareness of pupils with additional needs.”

“The children LOVED it! The performance took place in our classroom which was very intimate as the performers were able to be really close to the class and it made the session really engaging. The puppet making workshop after the show was FANTASTIC. The children absolutely loved it!”
