The witch and her cat are travelling on their broomstick when they pick up some hitch-hikers – a friendly dog, a beautiful green bird and a frantic frog. But this broomstick's not meant for five and – CRACK – it snaps in two… just as the hungry dragon appears!

Will there ever be room on the broom for the witch and her four passengers? Find out in the magical Olivier Award-nominated show for audiences aged 3 and up.

From Tall Stories, creators of imaginative storytelling theatre, where everything is possible.

Join us this autumn to explore some of the connections – real and imagined – between the Chessington Branch Line and the natural world. In conversations conducted while travelling on the line itself and on public walks branching off from its stations, we'll read together, share stories and chart our discoveries. Our collaborations will inform the creation of a podcast, as well as a new map of the branch line, which will be produced by the artist Helen Cann.
