Chickenshed is an inclusive theatre company that first began in 1974.
Primarily based at our own purpose-built venue in North London, we create theatre for all ages and run successful outreach projects, education courses and membership programmes throughout the year.
Every carefully planned show incorporates educational songs, movement and language games, which help promote brain development and early learning in young children.
Every show is different, with a new theme incorporated into the show each week. Having worked in partnership with early years experts over three decades, our diverse team presents educational stories featuring our much-loved characters - from Can-Can the beautiful Bird to laid-back Lion Down and The Thing That Goes Blurgh!
"Fantastic experience was had by all who attended. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We also booked a birthday party experience and loved the space we were given and the attention to detail."

What is Tales from the Shed?
Tales from the Shed are vibrant, inclusive theatre shows that are perfect for young children. They are informal, lively and amazingly engaging as the performers and audience share the same space.
Age Restriction
Tales from the Shed is for children from 0-6 years only. With the exception of older siblings, no children over the age of 6 will be admitted.
Seating
Seating is mostly on mats on the floor so that children and performers can freely move around the space. Chairs are available for anyone who would prefer not to sit on the floor
Pricing
You will need to purchase a ticket for everyone from the age of 6 months. If you are bringing a child under 6 months they are free of charge and you do not need to get them a ticket.
