Woodland Tales with Granddad
31 May 2025 All day
About Woodland Tales with Granddad
Olivier-nominated Hattie Naylor has teamed up with Pickled Image once again, crafting a magical tale with an urgent environmental message.
Something is happening in the woods, voices can be heard, and a strange metallic smell fills the air. Machines are gathering at its edge, and a mysterious call is heard across the valley.
Laura the ladybird, Jeffrey the spider, Brett the Woodlouse, and Willoughby the Woodpecker are worried. Velda the Vixen knows there’s only one person who can help them – Granddad. But is there enough time? Can they save the wood? And will the mysterious stranger help?
Featuring a cast of extraordinary puppets, this uproarious family show not only entertains but has an important and timely environmental message to share.
Generously supported by the Arts Council England.
