Polka Theatre Summer holiday shows & workshops

Arthur will headline this Summer on Polka’s main stage. From Saturday 20 June – Sunday 9 August, join the adventure in a magical new play with original songs, based on Arthurian legend and the quest for a better world, recommended for ages 6-12 years.
As Grace and Arthur’s two worlds collide, their fates entwine, and together they must embark on the greatest quest they’ll ever face to retrieve Excalibur. With the future of Britain depending on them – if only they can figure out how to work together….

Using puppetry, imaginative design and music, Lizzy Stewart’s Waterstones Children’s Book Prize winning book is brought to life for children aged 3 – 7 Years.
Exploring the power of the imagination, we invite families to follow Nora as she discovers the wonders hidden beyond the shrubbery. Come and listen, play, engage and enjoy the brilliance of this story, brought to life for the first time, where Nora finds dragonflies as big as her head, plants that can eat you (and your toy giraffe) whole, a polar bear that likes fishing
and maybe, just possibly, a tiger in the garden
