An open-air theatrical adventure for families will feature the greatest campfire story ever told.

Award-winning family theatre makers PaddleBoat Theatre Company is heading back to Dorset this summer on a tour with Artsreach to present their open-air theatrical adventure, Rustle.

They'll be calling into Winterborne Abbas and Buckland Newton on Sunday, August 1.

PaddleBoat Theatre Company will create an environment where sleeping bags become monsters, rucksacks become friends and torches illuminate the forest’s darkest secrets.

Born from the vibrant city of Exeter, PaddleBoat Theatre is committed to delivering high-quality productions for children and families across the South West.

After delighting Artsreach audiences with their previous show Margo & Mr. Whatsit, imaginative theatre makers PaddleBoat are returning to Dorset with this interactive outdoor show.

Rustle follows the story of four adventurous children on an expedition into the forest as they try to survive alone in the great outdoors.

Yvonne Gallimore, Artsreach co-director said: “It’s exciting to be welcoming this young, dynamic company with a really exciting outdoor performance for children and their families to enjoy in the open-air this summer.”

Join Paddleboat Theatre for a show full of stories, puppetry, music and mime, and help the campers survive in the outside world as the sound of rustling gets closer and closer…
