There’s a secret kingdom full of mysteries…
A whole world of strange, smelly and surprising life…
And they’re all around us.
Welcome to The Mushroom Show!
Augustine Fogwoode might be the world’s MOST enthusiastic mushroom enthusiast! She is on a quest to make sure everyone knows about the brilliance of fungi: their scientific superpowers and amazing abilities. But it’s just her and her puppet friend Goldie. She might just need a few more fun-guys to make it happen.
Join the party and discover how fungi grow, connect and help the natural world, including us humans. Packed full of interactive games, playful music and lots of laughs for all the family, The Mushroom Show is one person's mission to build a community… and maybe it’ll become your mission too?
Award winning Scratchworks Theatre Company brings together science, music and interactive fun for the whole family in this outdoor theatre performance. The Mushroom Show has toured all-round the UK and we can’t wait to experience it at Bedgebury!

Event Information
This is a fully outdoor event, you will need to bring foldable chairs/blankets to sit on and dress appropriately for the weather. We recommend that you come prepared for all eventualities, as this event will go ahead in all weathers.
Event parking will be in the Walled Garden Car Park. A limited number of accessible parking spaces will be available. Parking charges apply, however a 50% discount will be offered. Forestry England members park for free.
There is a short walk (approx. 160 metres) from the car park to the performance area along a wide stoned path with a gradual decline. The performance takes place on grass so the ground may be uneven in places.
The performance area opens 30 minutes before the show begins. You are welcome to stay and explore Bedgebury after the performance until the site closes at 8pm.
Feel free to bring a picnic or refreshments but please take your rubbish home with you. Alternatively, our on-site cafe will be open at the Visitor Centre serving hot food and drinks until 4pm.
