Help Blurgle Wurgle find a home!

In this show you will get to interact with Blurgle Wurgle - our bespoke puppet as they look for a new home in the solar system.

With seven places to choose from, no two shows will be the same. Together we'll spin the spaceship and travel through the solar system to 3 different destinations to see if any of them have the right conditions for Blurgle Wurlge to live there! 

There'll be actions in each location and lots of dancing to help spin the spaceship, as we learn about our solar system and have fun along the way.
