Wood Owl and the Box of Wonders: CANCELLED

VERY SORRY TO SAY THAT WOOD OWL & THE BOX OF WONDERS IS CANCELLED TOMORROW, SUNDAY 10TH MAY

We are really sorry to say that due to low ticket sales, we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel the children’s theatre event at The Hall tomorrow 😢

We hope to see you at an event soon – 3rd Thursday fish & chip and bar night is coming up on 21st May.

Enchanting Children’s Theatre: Wood Owl and the Box of Wonders at The Hall this Sunday at 2.00 pm

A treat for families and a perfect way to introduce your young children, grandchildren, nieces & nephews to the joy of live professional theatre.

Wood Owl and the Box of Wonders’, is a beautiful new Hoglets play for pre- and primary-aged children being staged at The Hall this Sunday afternoon.

A lonely little owl wants nothing more than to fly into the night and join his friends. But how can he, when he is made from wood? The arrival of another lonely soul changes his life as he strives to help. Join Hoglets Theatre on a magical journey of singing owls, fantasy worlds, friendship and love.

Featuring beautiful handmade puppets, Wood Owl and the Box of Wonders is a heart-warming, visually enchanting children’s theatre experience that blends puppetry, original music, and immersive storytelling.

This magical production explores themes of friendship, kindness, and belonging, leaving audiences with an age-old message: the love we show to others comes back to us in time.
