Overview

 

It’s Barnaby’s favourite day of the school year - Sports Day.

But when he wakes up with a cold, it looks like he’ll miss it completely… until something extraordinary happens. A spaceship lands on his roof.

Suddenly, Barnaby’s adventure begins - taking him from his bedroom to the doctor’s surgery, to the circus and all the way into outer space.

Packed with laughter, energy and plenty of unexpected twists, Darnaby’s Space Race is a joyful, imaginative journey where anything can happen.

Originally performed at the Edinburgh Festival, this much-loved Chickenshed show returns for a new generation.

It’s time to blast off.

Who’s it For?

Suitable for ages 0–9 years and their families. 

Perfect for: 

  • Younger children and first-time theatre-goers
  • Families looking for a fun, energetic show
  • Little ones who love adventure, imagination and a bit of silliness

A calm and welcoming introduction to theatre, with plenty to spark curiosity and wonder.
