The Hug

Family friendly

A rabbit puppet looks surprised and holds an old boot.

The Hug is a beautiful theatre show about a hedgehog and a tortoise who are both searching for a hug.

Along the way they meet lots of wonderful animals – a scary badger, a crazy squirrel who knows A LOT about nuts, a fabulous fox, and an owl who is trying their best to be wise.

With lots of fun, the show features fantastic puppets and live music …and at the end, a very special hug from the puppets.

This socially distanced show runs at 45 minutes long. Recommended for children aged 2- 8.
