Stick Man at The Stables, Milton Keynes

Presented by Freckle Productions and based on the book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler

Tuesday 16 December 2025 – Sunday 4 January 2026

Touching, funny and utterly original, Freckle Productions’ delightful adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s Stick Man is back in town!

What starts off as a morning jog becomes quite the misadventure for Stick Man: a dog wants to play fetch with him, a swan builds a nest with him, and he even ends up on a fire! How will Stick Man ever get back to the family tree?

This award-winning production from the team behind Zog and Zog and the Flying Doctors features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky moves.
