THERE will be plenty of hugging and plenty of family fun when Blunderbus Theatre Company bring their brand new show to Malvern Theatres on Tuesday, October 21.

Hugless Douglas is a huggable, lovable young brown bear who wakes up one morning in need of a hug.

He tries to find the perfect one but none of them seem quite right because there are so many different hugs to choose from.

But Douglas soon discovers that there is only one hug that will do - a big bear hug from his mum.

Little cubs aged from three to seven years old will love the heartwarming tale as they join in singing-along with Douglas.

Established in 1998, Blunderbus has been creating enchanting theatrical experiences and providing lasting memories for children and their families all around the world.

They perform for over 200,000 children each year, touring to theatres, arts centres, schools and festivals across the country and as far afield as Malaysia, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore with critically acclaimed shows such as How to Catch a Star, The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark and Giraffes Can’t Dance.

The team design and handcraft every single puppet, prop and piece of scenery on-site at their company base in the heart of Sherwood Forest.

Performances are at 1.30pm and 4.30pm with tickets costing adults £11.20 and children £8.96.
