Bertie's Big Top

Come and meet Bertie, the little boy with a big imagination.  On one stormy, rainy day Bertie is bored at home and from his very own bedroom he takes us all to an imaginative, colourful, circus show where anything is possible.  Explore Bertie's story through drama and role-play as Hannah expertly leads through interactive and creative storytelling to enthral your little ones imagination."

An original tale, written and told by Hannah Summers. Illustrations by Miranda Summers 

Please note, all infants over one month old require a ticket, as this show is specifically aimed at babies and pre-schoolers.

Hannah’s much-loved storytelling has also been brought to life in her picture book The Giraffe Who Wouldn’t Bath – a playful, rhyming adventure full of humour, imagination and interactive fun for little ones to enjoy at home. You can get your copy here.
