Marion with the snowy forest in the background

Step into the legendary world of the Magical Major Oak and join Marian as the forest is transformed into a snowy playground.

Children will love this unique chance to physically explore stories, characters and landscapes led by the theatre making team from Nottingham Playhouse.

These workshop sessions will unleash your child's imagination and stimulate the senses by using music, movement, puppetry, crafting, and sensory play.
