If you could change anything on your bicycle, what would it be? A comfy new saddle? An ice cream maker? Rocket boosters?! 

When Mrs Armitage goes out for a ride with her trusty dog Breakspear, she decides her bicycle needs improvement. With a new horn, a picnic hamper… and a sail, will Mrs Armitage manage to keep her bicycle in one piece or will her crazy contraption prove too much to handle?

Adapted from Quentin Blake’s classic tale, Scoot Theatre present a 40-minute interactive, energetic show, celebrating the joy of getting outdoors and being active. Featuring live music, puppetry and physical comedy, we celebrate the power of imagination and the importance of resilience.

Co-produced with Farnham Maltings, with additional support from Arts Partnership Surrey.

Mrs Armitage on Wheels has recently been adapted for the BBC. Watch the animated special and others from Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures on BBC iPlayer.
