Bug Hotel was a great hit at the festival and we had a lovely time with the company, so thank you for being part of it, we appreciate that touring work during this period has taken bravery, but we and the babies were very appreciative.

The Bug Hotel is a musical adventure for 0-2 year olds and their grownups. Performed by a singer and guitarist it combines live beautiful music making with storytelling and multi-sensory play.
The show takes place in a gazebo and is designed for small groups of up to 3 babies with a maximum of two adults per baby. The experience is intimate and bespoke - different for each group - a space where babies and their families can safely experience something of what they have missed out on over the past two years.
The Bug Hotel celebrates some of Britain’s most fabulous and sadly endangered insects (The Stag Beetle, The Tiger Moth and The Glow Worm). New music and poetry by Catherine Carter is combined with pre existing repertoire (Monteverdi, Faure and Brumley) and a beautiful immersive design by Kirsty Harris.
Groups are welcomed into a comfortable and relaxing space - and supported to play together guided by the musicians and actors. Each experience lasts around 15 minutes and we are able to provide ten shows in a day.
