The Adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie will come to life in Sydney this Spring!

May Gibbs' beloved 'The Adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie' will come to life in Sydney's Centennial Park, Wollongong Botanic Gardens and Bowral's Retford Park with the first ever outdoor theatrical experience of this quintessential Australian classic.

Timed for the Spring September School Holidays, this funny and enchanting outdoor adaptation will run from Saturday 24 September - Friday 30 September in Sydney's Centennial Park.

This Sydney landmark has many remnants of the Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub, typical of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie's habitat with Old Man Banksia and Golden Wattle. 

On Wednesday 5 October and Thursday 6 October it will play to audiences in Wollongong Botanic Gardens and the outdoor show will conclude in Bowral's Retford Park on Saturday 8 October and Sunday 9 October.

The Gumnut Babies are on a mission to see a human – but only from a distance! On their journey to the big city they meet friends and foes including Mrs Kookaburra, Mrs Fantail, Mr Lizard, Mr Frog, Mrs Snake, and, of course, Little Ragged Blossom.

Can Snugglepot lead the way? Can Cuddlepie hold his nerve? Can they avoid falling victim to the Big Bad Banksia Man?

These beloved characters have fascinated and delighted generations of children and families. Eaton Gorge Theatre Company is looking forward to introducing the wonder and magic of the Australian Bush through May Gibbs' eyes. 

Where:  Centennial Park - Musgrave Ave; Wollongong Botanic Gardens - Robsons Rd entry Keiraville, and Bowral's Retford Park - 1325 Old South Road, Bowral.
When:   Between the different locations, 24 September 2022 - 9 October 2022
