Young MacDonald Wants A Farm - Skipton Town Hall

Written and composed by David Gibb
Suitable for ages 2+

Get ready to turn the volume up on the farm in this playful, musical adventure for early years audiences and their families.

When Young MacDonald is left in charge of his dads farm while hes away on holiday, hes certain he can manage. After all, how hard can it be to look after a few animals? Quite hard, it turns out. As things begin to spiral into cheerful chaos, the audience is invited to help Young MacDonald make sense of the sounds, rhythms, and routines of farm life. Featuring live music with a bold electronic edge, immersive soundscapes, catchy original songs, gentle clowning, and lots of audience interaction, the show creates a joyful world where music, play, and imagination collide.

Designed as the perfect introduction to live theatre and music, Young MacDonald Wants a Farm delights very young children while keeping grown-ups entertained too. Best described as part gig, part game show, part theatre show and one part joyful madness, its a lively, inclusive experience that celebrates curiosity, creativity, and the wonderful noise of things not quite going to plan.
