The Borrowers

29th November 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 4th January 2025 @ 7:00 pm

£10 – £32

Discover a magical hidden world under the floorboards!

Arrietty Clock is an adventurous and spritely “Borrower”, secretly living under the floorboards of a country house in rural East Yorkshire with her family. This small, but perfectly formed family borrow from the humans above – furnishing their home and fuelling their appetites with their finds, but Arrietty longs for freedom and fresh air.

As Arrietty hits her teenage years, she begins to join her father, Pod, on special borrowing quests – much to the dismay of her mother. However, the Borrowers have one simple rule: to remain hidden from the “human-beans”, especially Mrs Driver, a bad-tempered housekeeper and Crampfurl, the rebellious gardener.

When an evacuee, a human boy from neighbouring Hull, arrives in the main house, Arrietty becomes curious… and starts making mistakes. This results in the family undertaking an epic journey into the unknown to find a new home.

Arrietty and her family will face many obstacles and dangers as they trek through a land of strange plants and huge creatures. Can they find somewhere they truly belong? What (and who) might they come up against along the way? And will Arrietty finally feel the warm sun on her face?

Set against a backdrop of Christmas in East Yorkshire during the 1940s Blitz, this enchanting family friendly production explores themes of adventure, friendship and the joy of love and togetherness.

A perfect alternative to pantomime during the festive season, magically captivating audiences of all ages.

Based on the novel by Mary Norton
Adapted by Charles Way
