Interactive storytelling performances for families

E

Spring 2025
'The storyteller was fantastic - she was evidently very experienced with young children and had them captivated from the off. Both of mine were grumpy when they arrived but within a minute, they were really absorbed by how interactive the storytelling was and how many of their ideas she included. '  Feedback at The Fungi Festival 2024

Find us storytelling out and about this Spring:

Beetles and Bee Tales

at The Takeover Festival

York Theatre Royal Studio

Saturday 31st May 11am

Suitable for all wild beasties age 4-11 years!

One hour

Who’s side will you take when Cora, the crafty cuckoo bumblebee, sneaks her way into Queen Red-tail’s nest?

And will you dare to stand up to Brutus, the invading bark beetle, as he devours every forest in his way?

Find out with Mud Pie Arts. Together, we will act out these bold tales of bombastic beasties! 

May half term is the perfect time to go bug hunting, so come along to learn more with our spinner of yarns, Jenna Drury. 

Expect all-join-in storytelling, riddles, games, and post show doodling on an epic scale!

 

These original tales have been created by Mud Pie Arts, to nurture children’s interest in the natural world. 

All proceeds will be donated to People’s Trust for Endangered Species.

Flamborough

For The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust​

Family activities 10am - 3pm

Join us for tales of our seafaring feathered friends. 

Did you know puffins nest in burrows? 

They can flap their wings up to 400 times a minute - try it!

One puffin was recorded holding 83 sand eels in its beak! That's one great fisherbird!

There will be lots of other wildlife activities for children, guided bird walks on the Yorkshire cliff tops suitable for families, plus a beautiful beach to explore.
