Wishing and Wizzing - Storytelling from Widdershins!

The Hare & The Hedgehog (Brothers Grimm)

In the game of Top Trumps, the Hare would always beat the Hedgehog in Speed, Agility and Length of leg, but in Cunning, the cute little Hedgehog will always win! See how Mr Hedgehog (with the help from Mrs Hedgehog) outwits the stuck up Haversham Hare who believes himself to be the Lord of the Manor.

The second story is The Three Wishes - if you met a magical leprechaun who offered you three wishes, what would you wish for? Good health? The end of poverty? World Peace? …. Or maybe sausages? This is a rumbunctious and slightly anarchic re-telling of the famous French tale by Perrault.   

Join us for a stories from Widdershins in the gardens. The Theatre of Widdershins tell tales from all over the world - folk tales, fairy tales and myths - all told with the gusto of a live theatrical show, bursting with energy.

The storytelling will be in the gardens. The Yew Tree car park, next to the gardens, will be open. Tickets include parking. All children must accompanied by an adult.
