The Frog and the Princess sees classic tales combine in fun family show this half-term

What if wishes were granted? What if magic was real? The Frog and the Princess is at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts this half-term and aims to answer those questions.

What happens in The Frog and the Princess?

When a storyteller appears everyone is enchanted… Beasts and breadcrumbs, wolves and witches, but all Froggy really wants is to hear a story starring someone like him.

Head into the woods with Hansel and Gretel, help little elves make beautiful shoes, meet the princess who’s champion of hide-and-seek, and see if Froggy finally gets his wish.

Box Tale Soup present a stunning adaptation of Grimm’s most magical tales, featuring wonderful puppets and spellbinding original music.
