Flyaway Katie

Saturday 30th May, 11:30am

A wonderful show about the power of imagination based on the popular children’s book Flyaway Katie by award-winning author Polly Dunbar, with music by Tom Gray of Gomez.

Katie is all alone and feeling grey. The birds in the picture on her wall look so colourful-if only Katie could be as bright as them, who knows what might happen?

The show is bursting with colour, movement and surprises, with puppets of varying scales acting the story.

If the weather is fine, this performance will take place outside in The Horton Gardens.

The show is aimed at 1 – 6 year-olds and will be 40 mins of pure joy followed by 15 minutes of ‘meet the puppets’.

“Magical and beautiful” The Guardian

“The kids were captivated and the opportunity to meet the puppets at the end was enthusiastically taken up. This is the perfect show for children- colourful and imaginative without being too long”. The Argus, Brighton

Tickets: Family £49 (Admits four) General admission £16
Running Time: 40 minutes of pure joy followed by 15 mins meet the puppets.
Age Rating: 1 – 6-year-olds
