About this Event
Join us for our special, socially-distant Winter show this Christmas, created and performed by local theatre company PuppetShip.
Little Acorn wakes up too early to find that it’s always winter, never spring. In a quest to find breakfast for his friend Robin, Acorn embarks on an adventure that takes him to the edge of his world and beyond. But unlocking the secret to this frozen world means that everything must change...
Everyday objects transform in this heartwarming tale of growing up and letting go. That’s life, in a Nutshell.
