Anthea and her brothers and sister live in a small, sleepy, northern town. Anthea's longing for a bit of adventure, but there's nothing to do! Until one day, they make a strange discovery on Scarborough beach... Join Anthea, as she weaves her magical story through music, story-telling, and puppetry! Sometimes the best adventures can happen on your own doorstep!

This one-woman show is an intimate piece of storytelling bringing magic to children, and reconnecting them to their friends. Five Children and It will evoke the feelings of summer holidays and of making discoveries and having adventures.

For audience age 5+

Approx 45mins running time. There will be coffee, cake, hot chocolate, and ice cream for sale at the show.

Please book accordingly.
