By on June 17, 2018 in

Navigating the perilous waters of the Caribbean, it is just another ordinary day of seafaring and skulduggery for the crew of the good ship HMS Griselda. Until, that is, they stumble across a very lost penguin called Burt.

Presented by the zany team at Heapsgood Productions, ‘Snowmageddon: The Penguins of Antarctica’ takes you on a voyage to one of the coldest and darkest places on Earth. Join our swashbuckling pirates as they head due South to discover the true meaning of friendship and what it means to help someone just because you can.

Our chilly children’s performance is part of Our Port Winterfest. See the show, explore the museum and then head over to Harts Mill for more winter warming wonder including workshops, music and food.
