It’s time to look up!

Go with Balloon Girl on a wild, fantastical ride through 2000 years of Welsh history.

In this unstoppably fun adventure created by Hannah McPake (Tales of the Brothers Grimm, Alice: Return to Wonderland) you’ll encounter Roman invaders, Viking raiders, Victorian Cardiffians and much more.

Inspired by the extraordinary true story of Cardiff’s very own Balloon Girl, Louisa Maud Evans, our production honours her legacy and bursts with life, laughter and spectacular storytelling. This riotous new show celebrates bravery, the power of curiosity and invites us all to dream bigger, be bolder and embrace our own spirit of adventure. 

Prepare to be lifted up by the wonder and joy of Balloon Girl – the perfect show for curious young minds and grown up imaginations.

Supported by Arts Council of Wales.
