The inspiring, kid-friendly story of a young girl called Martha who dared to stand out.
The real life adventures of Mary Ellis, Jane Austen, Queen Victoria, Ellen MaCarthur and Emily Davies come to life with interactive performance to inspire Martha.
From spitfires to yachts, writing to ruling and the power of education. The authentic and inspirational stories of the amazing women from the Solent are brought to the stage in this charming new musical story.
The Game Show Live!
Battle it out in the craziest Game Show in town! A perfect treat for all the family rammed full of participation.

Fringe Fiesta! With David Gibb
The Ultimate Party Show for Children and Families
The marvellous musical maestro David Gibb headlines the Horse Box Theatre Company’s epic summer party!
Bring your teddy bears as David takes us on a musical journey through his hilarious and often surreal imagination, where bears live in the cupboard under the stairs, dragon’s hide out in bedrooms and trips to the moon are a regular occurrence.
Join them for an incredible line up for music, dancing and silliness made especially for kids.
