Hup
Created by Hazel Darwin Edwards and Abigail Sinar
A quirky quartet of playful musicians create an
enchanting musical experience for 0-2 year

sonata.

comfortable performance style with the chance to
stay and play afterwards.

Stick Man
A fantastic show for all branches of the
family tree!
‘Stick Man lives in the family tree, with his Stick

to play fetch with him, a swan builds a nest
with him and he even ends up on a fire!
How will Stick Man ever get back to the
family tree?
Guarantees more fun than you can shake a
stick at!
Most suitable for children aged 3+ with
their friends and families.
