🐻 Widdershins Presents: Snow White Rose Red Bear Brown - The Green, Houghton Regis (ages 4+)

Time: 11:00
AGE: Suitable for ages 4+
🌹 EVENT DETAILS
Snow White and Rose Red – sisters, twins, best friends – have lived in the forest since they were Babes in the Wood. Brought up by their hardworking Mother to be kind, caring and forest fluent… if sometimes a little over enthusiastic in their deeds!
When their quiet life is interrupted by a friendly bear a new chapter begins. But why has the bear chosen them as playfellows? Why is there sadness in his eyes? And who on earth is that rude little man with a ridiculously long beard that they keep bumping in to?
All questions will be untangled in this new show from the Woods of Widdershins, using puppets, storytelling, original music and a fantastical fairytale forest.
🎟 FREE - TICKETS NEEDED
You can book your free tickets via the event link.

👀 ABOUT....
A curious box lies still in Ampthill Park…
Music wakes up what hides inside, as eyes appear from every angle and strange creatures begin to emerge from within. As the music builds, the box erupts into a frenzy of tap dancing and a half bird, half human contortionist balances precariously on top. What other creatures will appear and what else can possibly be contained within this bottomless box? Join us in Ampthill Park this summer for an exciting and funny family show packed with dance, awesome acrobatics and impressive puppetry.
