We love Somerset and its diverse people; the wonderful stories and creative possibilities woven through every village and town.
Our work grows from the places we call home and uses story, theatre and play to help us make sense of the world around us. We do this by creating original, bold and brave work with and for our communities, bringing opportunities to the doorsteps of children, young people, families, artists and creatives, making Somerset a place to celebrate and belong.
We believe in fun
We believe in community
We work together to make a difference.
