WHIPPED UP! 🥤
03 April 2025

Whipped Up! follows Dottie, an eager-to-please 50’s-style diner server on their first day on the job – where the baby is the customer, and caregivers are along for the ride.

As the server waits on their “demanding” clientele (imagine babies doing what babies do best – creating adorable chaos!) the server grows increasingly frazzled – and more and more entertaining! Stimulating for tiny audience members with sensory play served up throughout the show, and hilarious for parents/adults watching their loved ones take on roles in an unfolding comedy.

10:30am (SOLD OUT), 12pm + 2pm
£15 (admits one baby and one grown up) | Additional Adult £7.50
