The Sleeping Seeds

The Sleeping Seeds – A playful music theatre show for families. Two musical gardeners go on an adventure to raise a seedling and raise a racket. Rake & Roll!!

The Sleeping Seeds are a pair of musical gardeners who have a very special seed asleep in their seed bed. Join them as they nurture and encourage this little seed to mature and take its place in the world. Expect catchy songs, unusual instruments and fun joining in!

This is a relaxed performance for all ages and includes integrated British Sign Language.

The performance will be outdoors and will go ahead whatever the weather, so please come prepared (raincoats & wellies or sun hat & suncream!).

We will have some rain cover if needed. In the event of extreme weather please check social media for notifications about the performance.

Sunday 25th August 2024

The garden will open from 1pm and the performance will start at 2pm

Tickets are FREE or ‘pay what you can’ via Black Country Touring
