The National Trust Theatre Company is touring again this summer and coming to a National Trust property near you with a show that promises to be a theatrical delight for children aged four to seven and their families.

Between June and August, four members of the National Trust Theatre Company will be performing Sapling's Song. Using mime, puppetry and dance to celebrate the wonder of nature, Sapling's Song is an entirely new, magical musical theatre show for families and children aged four-plus.

Rebecca Vallins, Trust theatre manager, commented: "The National Trust is the only heritage organisation with its own theatre company! Our summer shows are very popular now. Mainly because they take place during the day, which is great for families, and the performances happen in such beautiful settings. But we're especially excited by Sapling's Song. It's a show that will really fire children's imagination. So all the ingredients are there - a magical performance and an exceptional outdoors location - for a memorable family day out."

Each show lasts for about an hour and will be performed at Colby Woodland Garden from June 9-12. Advanced booking is strongly advised - and with no fixed seating, remember to bring a rug and to dress for the weather!
