Theatre productions, youth theatre, workshops and creative projects rooted in place and community.

We’re the mini-yet-mighty Babbling Vagabonds.

An award-winning charity creating imaginative theatre and storytelling for everyone, young, old and everyone in between.

From magical outdoor adventures to festive winter shows, we create original theatre for venues, arts centres, schools, libraries, village halls, and green spaces.

Alongside our productions, we work with children, young people and communities through workshops, youth theatre and school projects, making stories, performances and artworks together.

What connects it all is play, imagination and collaboration. Our work helps people grow their confidence and creativity while building connections with each other and understanding the place they live in.
