THE ever inventive Scratchworks Theatre comes to Dorset for two dates as part of the Artsreach summer programme of events and workshops for children. The Mushroom Show combines information and facts with fun, with a workshop and performance, at Litton Cheney community hall on Monday 18th August, and Tuesday 19th August at 11am at Alderholt village hall.

There’s a secret kingdom full of mysteries … a whole world of strange, smelly and surprising life all around us! Welcome to the extraordinary world of mushrooms.

Augustine Fogwoode might be the world’s MOST enthusiastic mushroom enthusiast! She is on a quest to make sure everyone knows about the brilliance of fungi – their scientific superpowers and amazing abilities. But it’s just her and her puppet friend Goldie. She might need a few more fun-guys to make it happen …

Join the party and discover how fungi grow, connect and help the natural world, including us humans. Packed full of interactive games, playful music and lots of laughs for all the family, this Scratchworks Theatre show fuses the company’s signature style of physical comedy with the world of fungi, bringing together science, music and participatory activities for whole families to experience together.
