How does it work?

​

- Book a slot. Slots are 90 minutes, and we aim to be with you within the 90 minutes. We work to a 5 or 8 miles radius, depending on what day of the week it is.

​

- Confirm the address you'd like the show to be performed at with Front Door Theatre. We will email you asking you to confirm at least 48 hours prior to your show.

​

- On the day of the performance you will receive a text from us confirming your slot time. We then give you a ring when we are on our way. Then you sit back, relax and wait for the magic to happen! If its raining then we may ask to perform inside...but don't worry, our sets and puppets are small enough to be used inside. The performance will last between 15-20 minutes.
