We also accommodate for individuals and the needs of
school, we try our best to give each institution what they
need and what they feel with benefit the children. We
bring a positive, upbeat energy to the workshops to
match the same level as the kids but also show authority, we also have our own motto to keep kids engaged
and get the most out of our workshops.

A family friendly show with kid and adult humour throughout,

fun-filled and with plenty of excitement and bold characters to
keep any child entertained. Teaching children the value of family, stranger danger and drug awareness which are just a few
of the PSHE topics our performance covers. An educational
piece that will leave you with a smile on your face.
