An outdoor, live performance from a caravan stage of ‘The Lion Inside’, based on the book by Rachel Bright and Jim Field.
‘The Lion Inside’ is a story about confidence, self-esteem, and a shy little mouse who sets out on a journey to find his roar. Mouse lives in a house under a rock. At the top of the rock lives a lion with the loudest roar of all the pack. Fed up of being ignored by the other animals, Mouse wishes he could roar like Lion. He tries and tries to find his loud roar, but in the end decides the only thing to do is to overcome his fears and ask the lion for help.
Hat Parade
The Lion Inside performance has a very special hat parade at the end of the show. Mouse and Lion would love for you to bring along your favourite hats, or make a hat with all the colours and craft materials you have at home. If you are looking for some inspiration please find 3 hat templates that you can use to create your very own below.
