Tidy
Pete the badger likes everything to be neat and tidy: the flowers, the leaves, even the other animals. But, when autumn comes, he gets a little bit carried away with cleaning up the forest and accidently destroys his own home!
Based on the much-loved children’s book by author and illustrator, Emily Gravett, Tidy is a gentle but cautionary tale about the value of the world around us and what happens if we don’t look after it.
With beautiful puppets, original music and a touch of silliness, this playful story will delight young audiences, as it explores how everyone needs a little bit of wild chaos in their lives.

The Night Before Christmas
★★★★
"A truly beautiful show filled with magic, laughter and delightful imagination"
Everything Theatre
Amber is six and loves reindeer! It's Christmas Eve but Grandad is feeling tired and Amber's favourite snow-globe gets broken. Then her world is turned topsy turvy by a surprise visitor and Amber begins an adventure she will never forget.
Join Amber on a festive journey like no other - after all, on the night before Christmas, anything can happen.
Inspired by Clement Clarke Moore's much-loved poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’, we bring Christmas Eve to life in an exciting original production written by Hattie Naylor featuring music, skilful puppetry and a generous sprinkling of festive magic.
