about the production
Young Rosie dreams of carving a special turnip lantern for the Festival of Light. Little does she know how absolutely ENORMOUS her turnip will grow! Take a magical tour through the four seasons with Rosie as she plants and harvests her dream vegetable….she will need plenty of help from the audience, her animal friends and one small but very important root gnome. A gentle, playful retelling of this classic folktale, with a magical twist. The show features beautifully hand-crafted puppets and sets, storytelling, live music, songs and lots of joining in!

"The show was completely magical and the puppetry exquisite. The children were hooked from the outset – it was really great to see them interacting with the action on stage.”
"The show created so much inspiration for writing in our Reception classes. Thank you for a wonderful storytelling experience.” -
Our family audiences were delighted with this small scale show which blends props and puppetry with storytelling. The puppets were quite delightful and the children really enjoyed the opportunity to meet the storytellers and the character puppets post show. I would highly recommend this show to any venue, especially festival settings. Young and old will both enjoy this magical piece of storytelling.
