Family Theatre: Last Unicorn Airways

Half Moon Presents: Last Unicorn Airways, a Blanket Fort Club production

Touring Inspire Libraries Tuesday 17 - Thursday 19 February 2026

Take flight with Last Unicorn Airways!

Two performers dressed as flight attendants in bright red uniforms and matching pillbox hats look at a unicorn snow globe placed on a green suitcase. Near them is an illustrated logo showing suitcases, landmarks like Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower and the Colosseum, and the words ‘Last Unicorn Airways’.

Join two playful baggage handlers as they unpack a globe-trotting adventure from a magical final flight, where every suitcase tells a story. Among them is The Flying Trunk, a spellbinding Arabian Nights-inspired tale of a daring storyteller and his enchanted flying suitcase, adapted from Hans Christian Andersen’s timeless tale.

The show uses playful storytelling to remind us to see everyday life as an adventure and to cherish our world and each other - perfect for families and children, including those with complex needs and disabilities.

Stick around after the show for an immersive, hands-on sensory experience!

For children aged 4-9 and their grown-ups.

“An enjoyable and immersive journey around the world, giving full permission for young children to explore their imaginations.”
– Everything Theatre

Programmed in association with The Spark Arts for Children
