The show takes children aged between 3 to 5 on an enchanting journey using movement, sound and stunning visuals to bring fantastical characters to life.

The Norfolk and Norwich Festival expressed great delight in renewing its successful partnership with the Eastern Daily Press and contributing to the promotion of dance as an inclusive and engaging art form.

This memorable trip represents an integral part of the nursery's effort to expose children to culture and the arts from a young age.
