We are growing a new world... a perfect performance for all babies (0-12 months) including babies with additional needs.

Welcome to this great, big, tiny world. Settle in amongst hundreds of plants, as the world comes to life around you. Filled with sounds, scents and shadows, even the tiniest things play an important part. The world is different, now you are here.

Inspired by When the World Turns, a collaboration between Oily Cart (UK) and Polyglot Theatre (AUS).

Lakeside Arts is grateful for the generous support of FunDays in Nottinghamshire for these performances.
