The Fabularium

🎺 We welcome you, to the carnival
A gathering of animals
So come and join and give a cheer
For creatures great and small! 🎺

The Carnival of Animals are almost ready to meet you at Just So Festival!

Which animal are you supporting this year?
Will the Foxes be knocked off the top spot? Can the stags surprise us all and prance their way to victory and make history?

Join in the fun this weekend to find out. See you in the fields!

Sing Ho-Way! We’re off on our maiden voyage! 🌊

The Fabularium are back with a wild and windy tale of wisdom, woe and wonder, set to reignite humans’ relationship with our waters. Come and join 'The Crew' on their voyage into the great unknown!

Two storm riddled shipwrecks, two ancient cultures, two very different claims on the world.
Amongst the pandemonium - One of the Gods still has hope and decides they must teach the humans how to live together, or risk dying
alone.

Catch ‘The Crew’ at Sheffield Amphitheatre The Montgomery on 9th August 2024.

🎟️ Tickets are ‘Pay What You Decide’ but booking is compulsory.
