Can imagination heal the deepest wounds?

Join a quest of imagination to heal a young knight’s deepest wounds.

James lives the fantasy life of a medieval knight. Helped by his trusty jester, Bard, he welcomes you as guests to a banquet in his boyhood bedroom with jovial jigs and tourney games. But beneath the merriment, Sir James longs for the return of his mother, the missing Queen. When his worried dad Dave tries to fix the troubles at the heart of the realm, they set off together on a journey to discover how imagination can reunite a kingdom and heal a family.

As the lords, ladies and peasants of their imaginary world, you will experience comedy, clowning, drama, dances, songs and audience participation. So join Sir James, Bard and Dave on an immersive adventure with a gentle story about loss, love and the healing power of imagination!

Suitable for families, especially with children 10+.
