A sensory immersive winter adventure through the frozen north and into the heart of the Snow Queen's winter
Welcome to Barentsburg- a tiny mining village perched on the icy finger of Spitsbergen, lighting up for one magical night to tell the story of brave Gerda and her lost friend Kai. When a shard of mirror lodges in Kai's eye and the Snow Queen carries him away to her beautiful, frozen palace, Gerda doesn't wait long. She cries exactly as long as she needs to, and then she puts her boots on.
​
Told in spoken word poetry and brought to life through spellbinding puppetry, live music and interactive storytelling, The Snow Queen of Spitsbergen is a sensory immersive adventure through the frozen north and into the heart of the Snow Queen's winter - a world of patterns, puzzles and breathtaking beauty, where friendship, resilience and joy are the only things that can melt the ice.
​
At the end of the show, the audience journey together through the aurora forest-a world of light, sound and sensation. Just like winter itself.
​​
This enchanting, magical, sensory immersive show is perfect for families and young children, as well as disabled children of all ages who experience complex and multiple barriers to access.
This is a seated event.
Seated shows
We have three main seated layouts for shows;
-

-

both seating rake with floor seating in front (in rows, or with or without cabaret tables) [up to 200 capacity].​
​
Every seat on floor level and the first row on our seating rake is accessible to those who require a wheelchair space, an ambulant seat, or those who don’t have any access requirements. Thus, they will be bookable under the same ticket type and unreserved. When buying your tickets, we ask you to declare if you have any access requirements at the checkout so we can reserve any seats or space for those who need them.

These events tend to be theatre or dance performances performed on floor level or film screenings. The front row of our seating rake can be made into wheelchair spaces (up to 2) or ambulant seats (up to 4).
Companion tickets

Family shows will have space for floor seating in front of the seating rake for little ones to get closer to the action.
