The Magic Sweet Jar

The Magic Sweet Jar is a play for children aged 6-11 about a young girl who falls through a portal into a world made entirely of sweets. Filled with live music, puppets, homemade masks, and interactive storytelling, audiences are encouraged to help bring the story to life.   

But underneath the fantasy is a gentle story about grief, feelings, and learning that there is strength in softness.

Created with support from The Marlowe Theatre, this imaginative new family show transforms simple objects into vast magical worlds right in front of your eyes. No screens, no high-tech wizardry, just imagination and play. 

Join us for the laughter, wonder, and music, with a story children will carry home with them long after the show ends.

This special preview is a chance to experience The Magic Sweet Jar before its planned national tour in 2027.
