The biggest yawn, the cosiest bed,  
The softest blanket, the sleepiest head,  
Winter’s approaching, prepare for a rest,  
With some help from the animals who hibernate best. 

Come and be transported to a magical forest full of mirth, live music and marvellous creatures. 

As the nights draw in and temperatures drop, staying wrapped up warm in our beds seems like a great idea.  But have you ever imagined what it would be like to stay asleep for the whole of winter? Some creatures are experts and they’re here to show you how.

Join award-winning Little Bulb (house band in Cbeebies The Nutcracker) as together we prepare to take a very long nap!

Feel free to bring along your favourite blanket and any cuddly friends who would like to tag along!

Supported by Farnham Maltings, Trowbridge Town Hall and Arts Council England.

We want our shows to be as accessible to as many people as possible.

We offer tickets to most shows on a Pay What You Can basis throughout the year.

Tickets for Council Chamber performances in 2026 start at £9.50, and we have recommended pricing to help you choose a price that works for you.

We know that ticket price is a huge barrier for some. If you can afford to pay the recommended price or more, choosing to do so supports those that can’t. It makes it possible for us to continue to offer Pay What You Can and welcome those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend.

A tentative audience sitting on the floor blur into the shadows behind two vibrant bold figures, illuminated in purple light. One person is suspended in air by rope bondage knot, with neon red, pink and green rope, hands crossed behind their back. The other, with their back to the camera is gently holding the first person's head and pressing their own to it, creating a warm sense of connection and safety. In the purple background various mundane objects are spun in neon macramé creating unique patterns.
