About this event
The Giant is angry. He's been away for a long time and returns to find children- children!- playing in his beautiful garden!
They run about, laughing and playing games under the blossom on his peach trees, listening to the delightful songs of the birds.
So, he puts up a big wall and an even bigger KEEP OUT notice to put a stop to all that.
Then winter seizes the garden in its icy fingers... Will its grip ever be broken?
Through vivid, interactive story-telling, original music, puppetry and humour, Riding Lights brings you this brilliant story of transformation. No one, not even the story-tellers themselves can be left unaffected by this inspiring tale of love and generosity.
