HIDDEN WINTER
'I’ve got a story to tell you. It’s a story that, up until now, has been hidden away. Nobody’s heard it.
It’s a story that happened near to where you’re sitting right now. It’s a story about the people and places right on your doorstep…'
Join 8-year-old Hiba, a mischievous cat, and a trail of winter clothes to discover a brand new audio adventure that celebrates the joys and difficulties of making a new friend.
An exciting, new story-walk adventure co-created with young sanctuary seekers in Bradford, made for children everywhere and their grownups. Pop on your headphones, join us for a very special stroll around your local park and rediscover the magic of your surroundings.
