On a cold November night, four adventurous children set off through old London town to buy a new carpet, replacing the one that they have accidentally ruined. They stumble upon a mysterious old man with a cart full of junk and treasures, and one carpet!  When they get home they are in for a surprise – hidden deep within the carpet is a glowing, golden, translucent egg.

When held to the light, it seems to have a fire burning within. Suddenly, out of the egg comes a bird so magnificent and so magical that their lives will be transformed forever. With the Phoenix as guide and a carpet that flies, the children are whisked off on adventures and escapades that they could scarcely dream of.

Adapted from E Nesbit’s (The Railway Children) classic book, The Phoenix and the Carpet is produced by the same team behind last year’s enormously popular The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.

This magical production features beautiful music, incredible puppets and great fun for all the family.
