The very first folk story ever printed in English in 1621, Tom Thumb mixes a legend set in the times of King Arthur with Celtic folklore and is said to be told with superb puppetry, music and fantastic design.

This is an exciting adventure suitable for children aged four plus and their families who are invited to follow Tom’s magical journey from wizard Merlin and the Fairy Queen to his quest from King Arthur to defeat a fearsome dragon.
