'The children in the audience remained engaged and enthused throughout which was a delight to see' Bracknell Family Hub
'The show made a particularly drizzly day in Winter come alive with magic, snow, ice and twinkles!' Families Magazine
'The actors' clever use of voice manipulation kept the audience engaged and made each scene come to life' Maidenhead Advertiser
'There were so many characters and costume changes involved – I actually think they were shapeshifters – it was impressive!' WycMum
'My little ones were transfixed from the moment they sat down, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen them sit so still!' Little Ankle Biters

Bring Baby Choir
Singing is a great way to relieve stress and promote well-being.
Meet new people and take some time for you in this new acappella choir for mums, dads, grandparents, carers and their babies!
It is a baby friendly class, created especially so you can bring the baby you care for. Grown ups are in a semi circle (with room for your buggy next to you) and babies can sit, crawl or play on the blanket in front of you.
These uplifting classes are led by conductor/composer (and mum) Marta Radwan. There's no auditions, no singing experience is needed and you don't need to have a 'good voice' - just an openness to have a go! You'll be sure to know the songs and there will even be some which include your little one.
There's also:
* Free on-site parking
* Café (open all day)
* Baby changing facilities
Mums, Dads, Grandparents, Carers all welcome with their babies under 18 months
