  From the people who bring us BABY BROADWAY, we have a new treat for Spring... BABY KNEES UP!!

  Cor Blimey, Guv’nor, it’s a good old-fashioned East-End knees up!

  Fancy a change from nursery rhymes? Grab your basin of gravy and your dustbin lids and join us for some songs at the Ol’ Johanna!

  BABY KNEES UP is a zany, interactive family event with bubbles, puppets and plenty of singing along for adults, babies and children aged 0 – 100.

  Tom Carradine (of Carradine’s Cockney Singalong fame) will get you and your little ones Doing the Lambeth Walk, pondering How Much is That Doggy in the Window, marching with inflatable bananas “down The Strand” and much more!

  “We had so much fun. We literally did get our knees up. We all loved it! All the old classics! Reminded me of my Grandad. Fab sing-a-long session” @mothergoodofficial

  DARTFORD GRAMMAR SCHOOL - LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, OH WHAT A NIGHT! 2027

  Get ready for a night of killer comedy, toe-tapping tunes, and a plant that’s hungry for more than just water…

  This summer, Dartford Grammar School proudly presents Little Shop of Horrors, a wildly entertaining musical packed with unforgettable songs, eccentric characters, and a story that spirals deliciously out of control.

  Step into Skid Row, where down-on-his-luck florist Seymour stumbles upon a mysterious plant with an insatiable appetite. As fame, fortune, and temptation grow, so too does the plant’s dark demand… and the consequences are anything but small.

  Expect laugh-out-loud moments, stunning live music, and show-stopping performances from a talented student cast who bring this cult classic to life with energy, wit, and just the right amount of menace. From the soulful street urchins to the man-eating marvel itself, every moment promises to entertain.

  Whether you’re a lifelong theatre fan or just looking for a brilliant evening out, Little Shop of Horrors is a must-see event that will leave you grinning and maybe checking your houseplants a little more carefully.

  Don’t miss it. Book early… before it’s too late.
