Sherwood Forest is a happy home for Robin Hood and his animal friends. But when the Sheriff of Nottingham announces plans to cut the forest down, it’s not just the trees at risk – it’s the homes and lives of the animals who depend on it.

Robin Hood and his woodland companions must work together, with the help of the audience, to outwit the Sheriff and save Sherwood for future generations.

This 40-minute immersive theatre experience is packed with playful panto moments, larger-than-life puppets, and plenty of audience interaction. Robin Hood & his Animal Friends is a joyful, family-friendly show celebrating teamwork, bravery, and care for our environment.

Produced by Wise Owl Theatre Company
Devised by Matthew Forbes and Christopher Brookes
With Music by David Gilbrook

THAT’S A WRAP… for now! 🐷🎭✨

Our final bow on The Three Little Pigs Musical. We wanted to shine a light on something that often goes unnoticed — our playout music 🎵 the final note that carries the magic just a little bit longer… and it wouldn’t be what it is without our brilliant musical duo, Kevin & Tom 💫

Thank you to everyone who came along, clapped, laughed, and oinked with us 🐽❤️
