Review: The Littlest Yak

Live music and soaring vocals from a mighty trio run throughout the show, creating a rich, immersive soundscape that carries the story effortlessly across the snowy peaks. The expressive puppetry, complete with blinking eyes and wonderfully subtle movements, glides across the stage and frosty landscape, fully drawing the audience into this enchanting world. Thoughtful lighting design adds an extra layer of magic, shifting seamlessly between moments of adventure, tenderness and celebration.

Expect plenty of giggles, joyful sing-along moments, and a feel-good finale that leaves both children and grown-ups smiling. And the experience doesn’t end when the curtain comes down. The venue itself becomes an extension of the story, with yak-themed activities to explore – hands-on crafts, a clever up-cycled art installation by artist Gemma Caseley-Kirk and students from
Djanogly Strelley Academy, and a woolly-hat treasure hunt that keeps little ones happily engaged long after the final bow.

Warm, imaginative and utterly yak-tastic, The Littlest Yak is a snowy adventure packed with heart, humour and heaps of theatrical magic.

The show runs until Sunday, 4th January, so catch the yaks before they wander off to pastures.
