      *WINNER OF THREE FAMILY ARTS AWARDS*


      On instruction from the Mayor of Sillyton, you have been invited to come and experience a shindig to end all shindigs!


      Created by the wonderful team that brought the acclaimed DREAM SPACE to Shakespeare’s Globe, THE THREE SILLIES is a wonderfully inventive, immersive and intoxicating theatre production (created specifically for families of all shapes, sizes and disguises).


      THE THREE SILLIES brings an old English folk tale to vivid life, weaved amongst the REAL traditional gaming and food stalls – Maypoles, coconut shies, splat the rat and tin can alley contests, tea urns and delicious cake stalls.

      Here you will regain the lost art of collective silliness, and rediscover your inner silly billy!
