Performance times are 12pm, 1pm & 2pm. No bookings required, just turn up to see this moving and thoughtfully produced mini production choreographed by Susan Jordan.

Children will be entertained by the Enchanted Walk - a community art project featuring over 30 secret doors and hidden fairy and elf homes tucked under plants and in tree trunks.
