Join us for a brand-new glittery and vibrant musical adventure, based on the picture book by tinsel and craft icon Rachel Burke.

Fancy Long Legs is the story of Fancy, a spider who loves to create but struggles to stay focused on her creative task of web-building. With the support of her spiderling friends, Fancy goes on a beautiful journey to find her own style and make something no one else can. This uplifting story takes a sparkly and relatable look at neurodivergence, staying true to yourself and finding friends who love you and celebrate your differences.
