There’s a secret kingdom full of mysteries…
A whole world of strange, smelly and surprising life…
And they’re all around us!
Welcome to…THE MUSHROOM SHOW!
Augustine Fogwoode might be the world’s MOST enthusiastic mushroom enthusiast! She is on a quest to make sure everyone knows about the brilliance of fungi: their scientific superpowers and amazing abilities. But it’s just her and her puppet friend Goldie. She might just need a few more fun-guys to make it happen.
Join the party and discover how fungi grow, connect and help the natural world, including us humans. Packed full of interactive games, playful music and lots of laughs for all the family, The Mushroom Show is one person’s mission to build a community… and maybe it’ll become your mission too?
Critically acclaimed Scratchworks Theatre fuses their signature style of physical comedy, audience interaction and family theatre with the world of fungi. Award winning Scratchworks Theatre Company brings together science, music and participatory activities for whole families to experience together.

Ticketing
We want to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy our events, so we are trialling a ticket system which we hope will allow this.
Our BASIC ticket price is based on how much we pay the brilliant artists who will be entertaining you at the event. It doesn’t include any of our running costs or staffing.
Our BOOST ticket price is for those of you who feel you can help; it includes a small mark up which goes straight back into our charity and helps us to keep doing what we’re doing.
Our CONCESSION price is a no-questions-asked price. If you and your family want to join us, but things are a bit tight right now, this is for you.
