The Hunting of the Snark at The Met, Bury, Manchester 11 November 2017 Tickets from £12.00 — Book now

Inspired by the classic poem by Lewis Carroll, the genius behind Alice in Wonderland, this brand new, highly original family show is great fun for anyone aged 4 to 94.

All aboard! The ship is departing! All children, animals and silly people welcome!

A riotous ragtag gang of bold adventurers including the Boy, the Banker, the Butcher, the Baker, the Bellman and the knitting Beaver set off on a quest to catch the mythical Snark… on the journey they encounter the Jub Jub bird, the sly Bandersnatch and the dastardly Boojum… Can a Snark be caught with soap? Will the Beaver escape the hungry Butcher’s clutches? Will the Baker remember his name? Does anyone know what a Snark actually looks like?

Side-splittingly funny, joyful, fast-paced and bursting with a soundtrack of witty songs by an award-winning songwriter, The Hunting of the Snark is a tour de force that delights, excites and entertains.
