YOUR CHILD IS ABOUT TO BECOME PART OF THE STORY
Your child won't just watch - they'll be the sound effect artists that will vocally bring Jules Verne's journey to the moon to life.
And for weeks I've been catching stars and storing them in my suitcase. Everyone of them is waiting to be released at The Raven Hotel, West End, this May - because when we tell the story of Jules Verne's journey to the moon, we want your child to feel like they're actually there!
This is how we ignite the imagination. LIVE storytelling suitcases full of surprises, and a child who becomes part of the adventure!
