A brand new children’s show full of fun, fungi, music and science for ages 5+ and their families from Exeter’s Scratchworks Theatre (makers of The Grimm Sisters)


There’s a secret kingdom full of mysteries….
A whole world of strange, smelly and surprising life…
And they’re all around us!
Welcome to…. THE MUSHROOM SHOW!

Augustine Fogwoode might be the world’s MOST enthusiastic mushroom enthusiast! She is on a quest to make sure everyone knows about the brilliance of fungi: their amazing abilities and scientific superpowers. But it’s just her and her puppet friend Goldie. She might just need a few more fun-guys to make it happen.

Join the party and discover how fungi grow, connect and help the natural world, including us humans. Packed full of interactive games, playful music and lots of laughs for all the family, The Mushroom Show is one person’s mission to build a community… and maybe it’ll become your mission too?

Award-winning Scratchworks Theatre Company brings together science, music and participatory activities for whole families to experience together. Supported by Arts Council England, Doorstep Arts, Libraries Unlimited, Beaford, Unity Trust and The University of Plymouth.
