Five Children & It (family theatre)

The festival returns to Coultershaw for a delightful new production of E Nesbit’s timeless play. As with her later Railway Children we find a family of five children who have moved to the countryside. Out playing, they uncover a rather grumpy, ugly, and occasionally malevolent Psammead, a sand-fairy with the ability to grant wishes. These wishes go comically wrong…

A classic piece of fantasy for the family in a beautiful setting.

This event is generously supported by Chris & Barry Flannaghan

This is an open air event, so please dress for the weather. Unreserved seating will be provided.
