The Whale 300x300

A fantastic interactive theatre experience for children aged 3+, taking place in The Horton’s Gardens.

Cast off your shoes and squeeze into the belly of a true-to-life, 18-metre inflatable whale.

With the use of exquisite puppets, comedy and music, Circo Rum Ba Ba explore a tale of sea creatures and their battle to survive in an ocean.

30 minute performance. Story-telling starts outside The Whale and you will be inside for 20 minutes.

An adult does not need to accompany the children inside. Adults can wait outside The Whale and do not need to buy a ticket. If you feel your child needs an adult to accompany them inside, we suggest only one adult per family to maximise the number of children able to experience The Whale.

Tickets:
Child Ticket: £17*
Adult & Child Ticket: £32*
Group of Four: £58* (Admits four people. This can be four children. An adult does not need to accompany the children. We suggest only one adult per group to maximise the number of children able to experience The Whale.)

Adults will not be admitted without a child
