Filled with captivating puppetry, enchanting music and moments of wintery wonder, Little Snowy Hare is an uplifting story about curiosity, independence and finding your way. The show celebrates family, bravery and the joy of discovering what you can do all by yourself. The perfect introduction to the theatre for early years audiences.
