Bristol’s Scarlet Oak Theatre present a celebration of puppetry, humour and unforgettable characters that invites everyone to join the conversation about animal conservation, for ages 5-11 and their families


The Zoo That Comes To You follows the efforts of two wildlife enthusiasts who provide respite, care or a temporary home to those in need. They now have a sanctuary full of animals, however, no-one has come to visit their zoo. So everybody – animals and humans alike – have decided it is time to get out, see the world, and bring the zoo, to you!

Come and meet this eclectic group of charming yet cheeky animals, as they discuss their life experiences and the challenges they face. These chatty animals have a lot of stories to tell and want to inspire people of all ages to take action, because they know small actions can make a big difference in the world.

“We are still singing this morning! Brilliant for kids and adults, we al loved it. Would recommend for everyone to go and see.”
