Squashbox Theatre: Curious Creatures
Cecil Memorial Hall / Cranborne Village Hall, Wimborne, BH21 5QB
Sunday 25th October 2026 3:00PM
Welcome to the Curious Creatures wildlife park, established by world-renowned explorer, zoologist and animal collector Jeremiah Johnson. Nobody knows more about animals than him. Unfortunately, Jeremiah is lost in the African jungles, so he’s handed the park over to his nephew Craig... and things don’t quite go as planned!
Meet performing fleas, skateboarding snails, gymnastic gerbils, irritable alligators, over-excited elephants, and a very intelligent orang-utan! Learn about how animals evolved, how their amazing adaptations help them survive in the wild, and how animals can help us learn more about ourselves.
Using puppets, comedy and live music plus lots of amazing facts, Squashbox uncover the mysteries of the animal kingdom.
Recommended 5+ (bring a cushion)

Post-Show Puppet Making Workshop
