About

At the bottom of our planet, lies the South Pole: a magical, wind-whipped world of snow, ice and some of the most wondrous creatures on Earth including slip-sliding penguins, cheeky albatrosses and mysterious creatures of the deep.

In fact, only the bravest of explorers have ever set foot there. Could you be one of them?

This festive season, our Adventure Theatre is once again transformed into a wintry wonderland for our younger audiences to enjoy, as the brilliant Olivier Award-winning Little Bulb (‘The Nutcracker’) return to Polka to whisk you away on an unforgettable journey full of clowning, puppets and plenty of snowy surprises.
