Live shows
DragonBird's 50-minute sessions explore vivid worlds through gentle theatrical play and song for children aged five and under. We run live ticketed sessions for families in Bristol and also come to pre-schools, libraries and other Early Years groups.
Our sessions are all about engaging with immersive stories through theatrical sets, props and characters. But above all, the sessions are a relaxed and inclusive place for little ones to play, imagine and sing together.

We’ve been running sessions across the South West UK for over ten years, working to instil a love for theatre, boost motor and language skills and support physical and emotional development.
Our 50 minute sessions support the EYFS structure, encouraging children to participate physically and verbally, sing along, move around and engage with immersive and vivid worlds.
All of our sessions include two performers, set, props, costumes and all materials for games and activities. Contact Lotte at companymanager[at]dragonbirdtheatre.co.uk to find out more about the sessions including prices and upcoming availability.
