Breadcrumbs
Stockwood Discovery Centre
Sun 24th August 2025

Hansel and Gretel are siblings that just can't seem to get along. They argue about everything: Who's the loudest, who's the fastest, who's the smartest, who's Mum's favourite, and who gets the most Christmas presents?! So when they wake up lost and confused in the heart of the enchanted forest one day, it's no surprise they even disagree about how they came to be there! But with only a trail of breadcrumbs to guide them home, they'll have to put aside their differences once and for all to solve the mystery of how they got there and make it home in time for tea!
