Join award-winning poet Dominic Berry (better known as Dommy B) on an adventure to save the village pets. When Trolls Try To Eat Your Goldfish is a fun, comedy style poetry show, aimed at children aged five and up and this half-term you can enjoy it via Zoom from home.

If you listen carefully in the middle of the night, there is a noise – a snuffling and a shuffling and a splintering of wood… a line of troll-prints lead out the door, across the lawn and into the deep, dark night. Suddenly, the animals start to go missing. Time for an investigation then, because Nikki and her beloved pet goldfish Great Bumbleduke the Third are relying on YOU to help tackle this gang of grotesque trolls!

So arm yourself with pens, paper, and with the force of collective imagination prepare to save the day.
