Step beyond the stage and into the magic of the woods in this immersive woodland adventure.
Join WoodGruff and The Free Spirits for an interactive family experience that begins on stage at Haigh Hall and then takes you – literally - into the enchanting woodland surroundings.
The powerful Sershal is destroying our connection with the natural world and something must be done! Guided by WoodGruff and his woodland companions, audiences will journey through the forest in search of mysterious artefacts to try to put things back in their natural order.
Filled with fantastical sprites, original songs and music, laughter, storytelling and discovery, this magical adventure invites families to become part of the tale.
Blending live theatre, music, playing in the woods and interactive storytelling, WoodGruff & The Free Spirits is a truly immersive experience that celebrates imagination and nature.
For those who would prefer not to venture into the woodland trails, the adventure doesn't stop at the stage. A specially created woodland gathering will continue nearby, where audiences can enjoy songs, stories and magical encounters with Woodgruff's friends, ensuring everyone can take part in the fun and remain at the heart of the experience.
Come and play in the woods with us!
Adventure awaits. The woods are calling.
Suitable for families and children of all ages.
In partnership with Haigh Woodland Park, Wigan Council and The Old Courts, Wigan Heritage and Arts Trust.
