Expect sensational small stories, neighbourly gossip galore and a celebratory scoop of the tiny things that can bring us together.
JOY RIDE takes audiences of all ages (5+) on a bus ride they’ll never forget. Please bring your child car seat/booster if you wish.
NOEL WEST (2023) Reviews :
“The playfulness of the cast is immediate and you feel relaxed and ready. NOEL WEST is full of surprises and whatever you think will happen, it won’t. I found myself so surprised at the course of the show, it is something I have never seen before” – Bristol Post
“Excellent concept! A real one of a kind immersive journey. Very friendly & comforting. A sense of community warmth that is often lost in our busy lives. Lovely snapshots inside residents’ lives.” – Sunetra Sarker, Actress & Loose Women Presenter
