Wild Words

The Man Who Planted Trees & The Man Who Straightened a River

Part of Family

This event has passed.

Join Wild Words on their new ‘green’ family adventure from the Somerset Levels to the Mountains of France, weaving Jean Giono’s much-loved story and a traditional tale from Somerset with a mighty mole and a man who digs himself into a hole!


We are celebrating Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 150th year with a musical selection alongside notes of Gustav Holst inspired by country folk and the poetry from Gloucester-born Ivor Gurney.

Our pre-show Playshop will teach you a song to sing in the show and help you plant a seed to watch it grow!

With story writer and teller Michael Loader and musician James Watts, and a mixed bag of instruments including oboe, piano and a plethora of percussion.

The event starts with the Playshop, then a short break, then the show itself. Finishes at approx. 12.15pm
