Tales of the Orient

Enjoy these Eastern tales of mystery, trickery and magic. Watch as paintings spring to life, birds make people rich, and even the mountains move... or do they? Illusion, ingenuity, and plenty of laughs are all guaranteed.
And should you add a workshop to your booking, your children will get to play with this magic of story themselves, solving seemingly dire problems with imaginative, fantastical tools of their own creation.

- Foundation stage, Key Stage 1
