Each carefully crafted Tales from the Shed show is packed with educational songs, movement, and language games, designed to support brain development and early learning in young children. 
We celebrate diversity and inclusion in everything we do, creating a space where all children - no matter their background or ability can take part and feel the magic of theatre.

It’s Barnaby’s favourite day of the school year - Sports Day.
But when he wakes up with a cold, it looks like he’ll miss it completely… until something extraordinary happens. A spaceship lands on his roof.

Suddenly, Barnaby’s adventure begins - taking him from his bedroom to the doctor’s surgery, to the circus and all the way into outer space.

On Midsummer’s night, when magic is at its most powerful, two worlds collide.

Guided by mysterious forces and magical encounters, they must find a way through this enchanting and unpredictable world - but first, they’ll need to believe.
