Darnaby’s Space Race is a joyful, imaginative journey where anything can happen.
It’s packed with laughter, energy and plenty of unexpected twists,
It’s Barnaby’s favourite day of the school year - Sports Day.
But when he wakes up with a cold, it looks like he’ll miss it completely… until something extraordinary happens. A spaceship lands on his roof.
Suddenly, Barnaby’s adventure begins - taking him from his bedroom to the doctor’s surgery, to the circus and all the way into outer space.
Originally performed at the Edinburgh Festival, this much-loved Chickenshed show returns for a new generation.
It’s time to blast off.

What families are saying
The actors and puppeteers were great but the whole thing was too busy and the venue was small and dark so my son was more interested in his neighbours but as there was no space, it was tricky for him to go and say hello to them. Also the baby change was downstairs...annoying for a baby group.
My 3 yr old loved it! I did too!
It sounds good on paper, but essentially it’s a tad overpriced for watching some puppets. My daughter wanted to leave after 15 minutes as she lost interest. The actors are cool but I’ve been to better playgroups sitting on a wooden church hall floors. I guess it lacked excitement. I thought being in a theatre it would have been more captivating. It was a bit vanilla.
