*LATEST NEWS - WE'RE PERFORMING TWO SHOWS THIS WINTER*

Picture
We are so so SO excited to be performing two of our shows this Winter period!

​Back for the first time since 2022 we have Under The Frozen Moon: a poetic tale of glaciers, gobble-greedy dragons and great big hugs.
This show will be going on a UK tour starting in November!

And we have The Snowsmith, with inventor Eira on a quest to unite the grumpy town of Thawmor by bringing snow back.
​This will have a December run at Farnham Maltings!

Tickets are available NOW via the tour dates page, click the button below...
