Join an adventurous young girl and her seafaring father as they reimagine the story of a tiny snail’s incredible trip around the world, inspired by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s much-loved picture book.

Longing to see the world, a tiny sea snail hitches a lift on the tail of a great big, grey-blue humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, brought vividly to life through live music, storytelling and lots of laughs – but when the whale gets beached, how will the snail save him?

A heart-warming adventure for everyone aged four and up, from Tall Stories, the Olivier Award-nominated company that brought you ‘The Gruffalo’ and ‘Room on the Broom’ live on stage.

“Captivating, inventive storytelling along with beautiful live music and songs – it’s highly recommended that you climb aboard and set sail!” ★★★★★ Edinburgh Festivals for Kids

Tuesday 29th August 1:30pm – Relaxed Performance

Relaxed Performances are open to everyone but are especially tailored to support audiences who may benefit from a more relaxed performance environment. This may include children, young people, and adults with neurodivergence, such as autism, learning difficulties and other sensory or communication needs. The lights will remain on throughout the show, and audiences will be able to come and go from the space if they need a break from the performance. There is also a relaxed attitude to noise, and the sound and lighting will be adapted to more comfortable levels.
