A musical adventure for under 7s and their grown-ups.

Come on an adventure with Billie, a curious soul who loves adventures, and somehow adventures always seem to find them!

Strange things have been happening recently in The Merryberry Valley and Billie wants to find out what’s going on. They must now go on an epic journey through the deepest, darkest wood, across the widest, windiest river and up the steepest, snowiest mountain to the highest peak in the land to find the Magic Tree Stump and bring balance and harmony back to the valley.

There’ll be music, laughter and some serious silliness that the whole family can enjoy. All you need to do is let your imagination run wild!
