Deep in the forest, stood a charming little Fir Tree. A Fir Tree who longed for excitement and couldn’t wait to grow up! “Oh, to be BIG like all the other trees!” 

But little does the Fir Tree know, a glorious festive adventure awaits, and they’ll learn a lesson beyond their wildest dreams.

How It Ended present a playfully imaginative re-telling of Hans Christian Andersen’s festive tale, for all the family. Fusing live music and song, live foley sound effects and puppetry.

The Fir Tree reminds us of the enduring power of friendship, the legacy of great stories, and the importance of living in the present moment.

All performances of The Fir Tree are Sensory Adapted. This means that the show has been designed for everyone to enjoy, including people with sensory sensitivities including those who are neurodiverse, have epilepsy, or learning disabilities.

The environment in the auditorium will be the same as for our Relaxed Performances. These are open to everyone but are particularly suitable for people with sensory, communication or learning disabilities, and anyone who would benefit from a less formal environment. Audience members should feel comfortable making noise and moving around as and when they need to.
