"A naturally theatrical production with enchanting visuals (and) vibrant puppets"
The Guardian
One small bear’s big adventure...
The Everywhere Bear has a wonderful time with the children in Class One, but one day he gets more than he bargained for when he falls unnoticed from a backpack and embarks on his own big adventure! He’s washed down a drain and whooshed out to sea, rescued by a fishing boat, loaded onto a lorry, carried off by a seagull... how will he ever make it back to Class One?
This captivating and beautiful story, from best-selling author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Rebecca Cobb, springs to life with rhyme, original music and delightfully expressive puppets in Polka’s fun and exciting stage adaptation.

Polka’s Teddy Bear Picnic Stories
Join our storyteller and be transported on our Polka picnic rugs for a teddy bear adventure just like the teddy in The Everywhere Bear. From land to sea and far beyond, take part in our interactive storytelling workshop for babies and toddlers.
The Singing Mermaid
★★★★
"It’s a lovely piece of theatre that’ll leave its target audience in a trance, while possessing enough loopy visual brio to ensure attendant adults have a swimming time too."
Time Out
The singing mermaid is tempted away to join a travelling circus, with the promise of a life of excitement (and her own swimming pool!). The audience loves her singing but soon she finds she’s been tricked by the dastardly circus master. Will she ever escape? And who will help her along the way?
A cast of three performers, beautiful puppets and music & songs by Barb Jungr (We’re Going On A Bear Hunt) bring Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks’ much-loved story to life.
The Adventures of The Little Red Hen
Visit the incredible world of Stuff and Nonsense.
Making bread is hard work, but it would be a lot easier if the lazy farmyard animals got off their reclining sofas and lent a hand! Join our plucky little hen as she finds her own way to get stuff done.
An energetic adaptation of this much-loved story, featuring a breath-taking combination of brilliant puppetry, live music and unforgettable comedy. Stuff and Nonsense are well-known for their clever, captivating storytelling, ingenious stagings and ability to make us all laugh, returning to Polka after a hugely successful run of The Gingerbread Man last year.
