A magical seaside adventure. Join two sisters as they set off and go on an exciting trip ‘doon the watter’ to their favourite island! With the salty sea breeze in their hair and the gentle waves carrying them along, they fill the journey with stories of magical mermaids, soaring seabirds, and mischievous seal pups who love to play tricks. This fun and vibrant show is specially designed for little ones aged 0-5, bringing the wonder of the seaside to life through playful storytelling, music, and puppetry. Expect plenty of giggles, splashes, and surprises as our two adventurers weave a world of imagination. ‘Doon the Watter’ is a heartwarming celebration of nature, storytelling, and the joy of adventure. From the team who created The House-proud Mouse (Light the Blue Festival 2024). Features original music, written specially for the show. Cleverly uses props in a myriad of ways to create new scenarios for the adventuring sisters. Features cute and friendly puppets – including a cameo from Eddie and Alma from The House-proud Mouse!
