WoodGruff & The Free Spirits

Step beyond the stage and into the magic of the woods. The powerful Sershal is destroying our connection with the natural world — and something must be done. Guided by WoodGruff and his woodland companions, audiences journey through the forest in search of mysterious artefacts to put things back in their natural order.

Filled with fantastical sprites, original songs and music, laughter, storytelling and discovery, this magical adventure invites families to become part of the tale. Blending live theatre, music, playing in the woods and interactive storytelling, WoodGruff & The Free Spirits celebrates imagination and nature in equal measure. Come and play in the woods with us — adventure awaits, the woods are calling.
