Stories Unleashed: Hallowbean with Fladam Theatre at York Explore

This event is part of Stories Unleashed, a half-term festival at York Explore celebrating creativity, characters and imagination. Through performances, crafts, author events and storytelling, this fun programme brings stories to life and offers fun, interactive experiences for children and families, whether they're avid readers or simply looking to try something new. Stories Unleashed is supported by Libraries Connected as part of the National Year of Reading. In the town of ‘Ghoooul’ Dr Frankenheinz is rustling up something special for the annual Halloween cooking competition… the HALLOWBEAN!! The Dr hopes his tomatoey terror will dazzle SCARY Berry, the most frightful food critic of them all. The only problem is his eeny beany isn’t very scary. In fact, she’s downright lovable! Uh oh.
