From Julia Donaldson, the creator of The Gruffalo, The Folksy Theatre brings this children’s tale to the outdoor stage! Bring your picnics, blankets and chairs and enjoy the atmospheric performance.


George was very happy being the scruffiest giant in town. But one day, when he sees a shop stocking giant-size clothes, he decides it's time to update his image. With smart clothes, George is a new man. However, as he journeys home, he meets various animals who desperately need his help. George's kind heart and generosity take him on an adventure where he discovers that it's not how you look that's important but how you feel. Folksy's musical adaptation of Julia Donaldson's wonderful book will be filled with puppetry, colourful characters and songs, that will have you clapping and singing along!
