The Giant Wheel returns to Walsall Arboretum

It’s been a year since we launched our latest show, Parade – The Giant Wheel, and what an incredible journey it has been, touring internationally and across the UK. Our very first premiere and community cast debuted at Walsall Arboretum, and now, we’re thrilled to return this September. The cycle of life brings us back, and we’re excited to perform again with the amazing local community cast. Once again, our aim is to make this show accessible to all, and we will welcome a BSL interpreter.

If you have any additional needs or enquiries, please email us at hello@autindt.co.uk

We’d love to see you there!
