‘Greta’s Glorious Garden’
Roll up your sleeves and come and join us in Greta’s fabulous garden as she prepares to welcome the judges of the glorious garden competition…. but sometimes things don’t always go to plan!
Find out who has been eating their way through the garden, leaving rubbish, causing bother and stumble across friends in need of a helping hand. Beauty is always there if you take the time to look for it.
Discover the joys of the spring and summer, exploring Greta’s garden. Meet characters building homes, raising families, waiting for transformations and take a peek at what happens in the garden at night. This interactive performance features puppetry and shadow puppetry and is aimed at children aged 3-7years.
As the lights fade, join Fettle and Fable Theatre for a brand new walkabout shadow performance as The Usherette performs ‘Eek!’ featuring mice, mischief and mayhem as we follow our dreams and reach for the moon!

“INKONJANE - THE LIGHTNING BIRD”
There are no borders in the sky!
Inkonjane – The Lightning Bird
Aimed at children age 6+ and their families, this fast-paced, uplifting performance follows Jenna’s search for the swallow that usually nests outside her bedroom window in summer… but one spring her swallow doesn’t arrive!
With the help of Nolwazi, a South African librarian, Jenna goes on a journey of discovery, following the swallow’s migration through grasslands, mountains, cities, rainforests, rivers, seas and even as far as the moon, finding out what the swallow means to people in Africa and Europe.
