Excuse Me Mrs Pardon

In partnership with Playhouse People, we are pleased to launch our very first experience and workshop package for children aged 2-8.

Working together with Playhouse People, we invite you to book this wonderfully unique show.

The Show

A rhyming one-woman musical show about Mrs Pardon and her magical garden. What does she grow there…. Jellies? Wellies and birthdays? Is it real or pretend…? Based on the picture book of the same name, and linked into the UN Sustainable Development Goals, this experience is the perfect way for children to develop their global vision through theatre.

Testimonials

“

“It was the best performance that had ever come to the school for Nursery. Mrs Pardon was absolutely brilliant with the children and really flexible too. The show and workshops were very age appropriate and educational and both staff and pupils enjoyed the show and workshops immensely!”

“The children (and staff!) absolutely enjoyed the show and workshops. Some of the children are still singing the song from show. Lots of great memories, thank you! We are really happy that we’ve booked you for a second visit.”
