What is it?

Jacksons Lane and Stuff & Nonsense present The Enormous Turnip.  A charming tale to warm your cockles over the festive period in this wholesome treat for the whole family.  Living on an allotment in a tiny house the size of a shed, Mr and Mrs Chickweed show off their prizewinning vegetables for the last time before they retire.  But they can’t resist planting one last seed and as the Enormous Turnip grows, it threatens their house with disaster!  Can anyone help them pull up the Enormous Turnip?

Following sell-out performances of The Three Little Pigs last year, Stuff and Nonsense return with their infamous blend of unswerving energy, eccentric puppetry and live music. This re-potted version of the world-famous children’s story promises surprises aplenty for those in the theatre and out on the street too!

Suitable for seedlings aged 2-102.
