Storytelling: The Blossom Bird

Join storytellers and puppeteers, The League of Curiosity, to hear the tale of The Blossom Bird

  • Booking essential

A story for little buds & late bloomers

Flower folklore and puppetry combine in this brand new, blooming brilliant storytelling show!

Meet Pipit, a lost and featherless little bird, who is taken in by a family of wildflowers. With their gentle guidance, Pipit learns what it means to belong, to grow, and to trust the magic of who they truly are. Through story, song, and movement, this tiny dreamer blossoms into their real self - cheered on by the family who chose them.

A heart-felt tale that celebrates the wisdom of flowers, the beauty of blooms, and the power of being just who you are!

A story created for children aged 4-8 and their families. Funded by the Postcode Lottery

Length – 30/40 mins (with a meet and greet of the puppets after the performance)

The Viaduct will be closed to non-ticket holders, so you will have time to enjoy the garden after the performance.
