Presented by Tall Stories

Jump on board the broom in a fun-filled adaptation of the best-selling picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

The witch and her cat are travelling on their broomstick when they pick up some hitch-hikers – a friendly dog, a beautiful green bird and a frantic frog. But this broomstick’s not meant for five and – CRACK – it snaps in two… just as the hungry dragon appears!

Will there ever be room on the broom for everyone?

Find out in the magical Olivier Award-nominated show.

Acces notes:

In a Touch Tour a group of children and their adults are introduced the the set and certain items of costume and
props ahead of the performance. This can be helpful to the visually impaired, who may need to see items up close, or understand better through touch, as well as various other audience members with additional needs who benefit from going into the performance prepared with context for what they are going to see.

Relaxed Performances are open to everyone but are especially tailored to support audiences who may benefit
from a more relaxed performance environment. This may include children, young people, and adults with neurodivergence, such as autism, learning difficulties and other sensory or communication needs. The house lights will remain on throughout the show, and audiences will be able to come and go from the space if they need a break from the performance. There is also a relaxed attitude to noise, and the sound and lighting will be adapted to more comfortable levels.

BSL interpreted show is on Mon 22 Mar, 4.30pm

The touch tour for this show is on Wed 24 Mar, 3.30pm

The audio described show is on Wed 24 Mar, 4.30pm

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
