Basingstoke Festival and Deaf Explorer have commissioned two emerging artists to present their new work.

Irish Deaf performance artist and actor Paula Clarke in collaboration with hearing writer and actor Charis McRoberts are delighted to present The Wee Folk.

This new accessible piece of outdoor theatre introduces children and families to a magical world of myth and legend.

Join spirits of the forest Fiadh and Sion on an exciting adventure as they play tricks and tell tales about the wee folk of the wilderness.

Knock, knock – who’s there? Whisper for a wish and they may grant it but continue to pull down the trees and litter our earth and they may come after you!
