One winter morning, Peter woke up and looked out the window. Snow had fallen during the night. It covered everything as far as he could see.
Discover a world blanketed in wonder in this brand-new dance adaptation of ‘The Snowy Day’, inspired by the award-winning picture book by Ezra Jack Keats. Join Peter as he crunches through the snowy streets of his New York neighbourhood, in this intimate and interactive icy adventure.
Brought to life by Polka Theatre and Can’t Sit Still, the award nominated company behind ‘Oh No, George!’, The Snowy Day is specially designed for 1-4 year olds and their grown-ups, featuring one dancer, original music and an immersive, enchanting set. Join us at Polka Theatre this winter to experience the magic of fresh snowfall in Keats' classic, heart-warming tale.

A festive, magical quest for the whole family
When Clara receives a super-cool enchanted Nutcracker toy, one thing’s for sure - she doesn’t want her accident-prone little brother, Fritz, anywhere near it! But with rumours of an evil, seven-headed Mouse King trying to ruin Christmas, Clara might just need the help of Fritz to save the day!
Join Olivier award-winning Little Bulb ("Wolf Witch Giant Fairy") and Polka Theatre for a magical, musical quest of heroism and surprising rodent singalongs, featuring a sleigh-load of familiar festive bangers that’ll have you dancing in your seat.
