Wild Things

Samphire Festival

But the wild things cried, “Oh please don’t go - we’ll eat you up - we love you so!”

In a corner of a field at the bottom of a hill, you’ll find an enclosure. From the undergrowth within, the Wild Things emerge.

Leaving families behind, only kids can enter to discover the Wild Things. Together, they roar their terrible roars and gnash their terrible teeth, figuring out what it is to love and to leave.

Inspired by Maurice Sendak’s fabulous book, Where the Wild Things Are.
