Return to Barnet Hospital
On 16 October, Tales from the Shed returned to Barnet Hospital to deliver a magical performance for children on the Galaxy Ward.
This was the team’s first visit back since 2020, and it was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with the staff and bring some of our most-loved Tales characters to the children.
The Tales team performed an interactive show filled with singing, dancing, and storytelling. Children joined in creating their very own story, meeting characters like the famous Blurgh and Lion Down along the way.
“The children and staff were captivated by the team’s interactive performance of Tales from the Shed. The children had a wonderful time singing about rainbows and taking part in their very own story, meeting wonderful characters along the way including the very famous Blurgh and Lion Down. Chickenshed brought fun and laughter to our ward, and we cannot wait to have them back and go on another magical journey through the use of song, dance, and puppetry. Thank you, Chickenshed - we cannot wait for another visit!”
