STAND by for oodles of fun for younger members of the family.

Packed full of family fun and happy hugging, the Blunderbus Theatre Company will be showcasing their brand new show Hugless Douglas at Malvern’s Forum Theatre on Tuesday, October 21.

Hugless Douglas is a huggable, lovable young brown bear who wakes up one morning in need of a hug.

He tries to find the perfect one, but none of them seem quite right. After all, there are so many different hugs to choose from.

But Douglas soon discovers that there’s only one hug that will do - a big bear hug from his mum!

Little Cubs aged 3 - 7 years old will love this heartwarming tale, but grown-up bears will have lots of fun, too and they can all join Douglas in his happy new show, full of laughter, sing-along songs and plenty of opportunities to join in!

Established in 1998, the magical minds at Blunderbus have been creating enchanting theatrical experiences and providing lasting memories for children and their families all around the world.

They perform for over 200,000 children each year, touring to theatres, arts centres, schools and festivals across the UK and to the exotic climes of Malaysia, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore with critically acclaimed shows such as How to Catch a Star, The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark and Giraffes Can’t Dance.

The talented team behind Blunderbus lovingly design and handcraft every single puppet, prop and piece of scenery on-site at their company base in the heart of Sherwood Forest.

Their dedication and love for their craft ensures that each show is wonderfully unique and brings children’s imagination to life.

There are two performances at Malvern starting at 1.30 and 4.30pm.
