Christmas In July: What's In The Woods? - Backbone Theatre For Babies

What’s In The Woods? - Christmas in July Saturday Special!

Something festive is afoot in the woods… and we need your help!

Our forest friends have lost their presents, and there are clues hidden everywhere, behind snowmen, inside stockings, and even tucked near twirly candy canes! Join us for a special Christmas in July edition of What’s In The Woods?, where a sprinkle of winter magic meets the joy of discovery.

With twinkling lights, gentle music, and sensory fun, whether you’re dancing through your first time experiencing Christmas or toddling through your third, come share in the joy, connection, and just the right amount of sparkle.

Be transported to a soft and cosy woodland, right out of a picture book, where each new season is full of natural wonders waiting to be discovered by young, inquisitive minds. Enjoy an engaging and interactive story by the campfire before embarking on your own sensory exploration of the woods. Tailor made for audiences aged 0-3 and filled with performance, puppetry and play ‘What’s In The Woods?’ is a gentle welcome to the world of theatre.
