Old McDonald @ Tiddlywinks Nursery

Booster Cushion Theatre was a recent visitor to Tiddlywinks Nursery in Redhill with Old McDonald! The team at Tiddlywinks were great and we loved how they'd converted their attic into a pretty treehouse and castle!

We were performing for the littlest of their groups and had a great time. Loads of eieio's and a lot of giggles for our very small pig, sheep and crop farmers!
