Jane from Barmpot Theatre says ‘We are so looking forward to premiering our new mini-theatre show for families in East Lindsey this May Half Term!

"The show is called "To The Moon And Back" and is based on our award-nominated film of the same name. It's a short puppetry show in a suitcase about a little Barn Owl family who live in the Wolds, and the adventures they get up to at night when we're all tucked up asleep.”

Ashley from Nature Lab says: “There will be fun and interesting activities for children and adults to learn about our fantastic countryside and how agriculture and food production are part of the natural cycles.”
