Come on in – let the magic of The Museum of Marvellous Things begin!

Meet sensible, serious Norbert Norris and wild, wonderful Tilly T. Pott, as they give you a sneak peek inside their amazing museum and ask YOU to fill it with MAGIC!

With giant puppets, magical effects, interactive storytelling, live original music and a chance to make your own special puppet, this is a fun-filled family show based on the picture book by Kristina Stephenson (creator of Sir Charlie Stinky Socks).

Watch the trailer...

It was funny, hilarious, marvellous and so good, I almost exploded"

Theo, age 6

The show was SUPERB! The girls (4 and 5) were entranced all the way through – so many amazing parts.
