Could you handle a five-headed Hottle-Spottle with toothache? Or soothe a silver-tongued Slimp-Slatherer with a drooling problem? What about a Big-Bottomed Banghanger with belly rot?

This summer, pack your imagination and step into the wild with the award-winning Babbling Vagabonds!

Meet the brave (and delightfully silly) “Monster Menders” at their secret camp. Discover the frankly bonkers tale of how they became the world’s premier mobile monster vets. You’ll learn the hows, the what-to-dos, and the definitely-don’t-touch-that-bit-or-it-will-explode rules of creature care.

“The first rule of treating a poorly beastie? Calm it down. And the best way to calm it… is with a story!”

Follow the fortunes of a humble vet sent to rid his village of a terrifying dragon. Along the way, he encounters a Forest Ogre with a headache, a Mermaid with a delicate tail problem, and a dragon with questionable dental hygiene – ultimately discovering his true calling.

Packed with colourful characters, brilliant storytelling, and plenty of laughs, Here Be Dragons! is part interactive theatre, part story-making, and total fun.

Give your own little monsters a summer adventure they’ll still be talking about when winter comes.

Children must be supervised at all times.

This event is brought to you with funding from Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and Darwen Market.
