Family Theatre in Libraries

Worksop Library Saturday 24 January 2026

Dive into a world of magic and music with our adventurous mermaid and her sea creature friends.

The little mermaid dreams of a life on the land but finds herself out of her depth when her dreams finally come true.

Nottingham Playhouse’s brand-new version of a family favourite is the perfect introduction to live theatre and a fin-tastically fun treat!

Specially created for children aged 3-8 and their grown-ups.

Tickets for The Little Mermaid.

Touring Inspire Libraries Tuesday 17 - Thursday 19 February 2026

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.
