We understand little people like to wriggle about, especially when so much fun is going on around them, so we have a relaxed atmosphere at all our shows. Don’t stress if your little one needs to get out of their seat or if you need to pop-out midway through the performance for a loo break! We understand. We just want you and your family to relax and enjoy the show.
The Three Bears is largely non-verbal. This makes it accessible to a range of people, including BSL users and non-English speakers. We also provide an easy-read synopsis and touch tours. It is suitable (and fun!) for a range of ages.
Exciting news… The Three Bears has been nominated by the Fringe Theatre Awards 25/26 for:
Theatre for Young Audiences Performance Ensemble: Daryl Beeton, Ben Miles & Leon Wander
Theatre for Young Audiences Production: Full House Theatre and Daryl & Co

– Everything Theatre
“This is bold, generous, wonderfully odd family theatre–a queer, playful remix that celebrates the messy truth that “just right” doesn’t always look the way tradition tells us it should… Clever and tear-inducing.” – Everything Theatre
“Lovely for 3-year-olds.” – Audience member
“I liked the re-imagination of Goldilocks.” – Audience member
“Genius.” – Audience member
