The Enormous Turnip

Unswerving energy, eccentric puppetry and live music in a re-potted version of this world-famous and much loved children’s story.

Living in their tiny shed squeezed in amongst the garden tools, Mr and Mrs Chickweed’s amazing prize-winning vegetables have taken over everything! Before they retire, they can’t resist planting one last seed, try for one more champion vegetable and one more trophy…

But no one knew that a vegetable could grow bigger than the cat, bigger than the dog, bigger than you and me put together! It’s gigantic, it’s blocking out the light and it’s still growing! Help save the day as we pull The Enormous Turnip out of the ground before it takes over the planet!
