Quick, clever and only four inches tall, The Borrowers live happily under the floorboards of a huge house. Bold young Arrietty dreams of exploring the big blue-skied world above their cosy home. But when she finally does, she’s spotted by a frightening ‘human bean’ and The Borrowers are thrown into peril. Will the tiny family escape before it’s too late? And are they ready for their greatest adventure yet? 

A big-hearted adventure story full of magical live music, book tickets now to join us for an action-packed Christmas treat!

Suitable for children aged 4+ and their larger ‘human beans’.
