In the early days of the world, long before man had spread across the face of the earth, there existed a race of beings called the Hugels.
As spring begins to thaw, the allotment is coming to life, and the birds have a story to tell. Join them as they explore the site, meeting the magpies and their friends on their way to discovering the magical Hugel of the Isle of Walney.
Theatre Factory Young Producers presented a new show devised with Geoff Cox.
