“Silly and little bit raucous, this was a total crowd pleaser.”
★★★★ Children’s Theatre Reviews

Professor Slug’s House of Bugs was created by award-winning theatre maker, Maxwell Tyler (Winner of Best Family Show – VAULT Fest 2018), during the pandemic, with the aim to bring the joys of nature and minibeasts to children and families. The puppets are designed by Georgia Hill (CBeebies) with music written by Catriona Gisby (Elle & the Pocket Belles). The show is also partnered with wildlife conservation charity Buglife and the Royal Parks Nature Roadshow.
