As part of our Story Explorers exhibition, embark on a magical and interactive deep-sea adventure from Hoglets Theatre! Whale sings his heart out, but nobody sings back. Is he the only one like him in the whole ocean? Just as he’s about to give up, a mysterious voice echoes through the waves, spurring him on a determined search.

Join Whale as he dives through glowing coral, dodges wibbly jellyfish and faces wild-eyed sea monsters in an unforgettable quest for connection. Will he ever find a friend who hears his song?

Packed with beautiful puppets, original songs, and hilarious sea creatures, The Tale of the Loneliest Whale is a celebration of friendship, difference and the beauty of being yourself. Developed with children's insights into neurodiversity, this is a truly unique and heartfelt show.
