Playfully merging dance and British Sign language in a sensory world, A Home for Hamish follows the story of May and their imaginary friend, Hamish the Haggis as they travel across Scotland to find a perfect night’s sleep.

Step into a world of movement, colour and imagination!
A Home for Hamish is a colourful, immersive and interactive adventure for young audiences aged 4-7 and their families.

The two friends must support and rely on each other in order to find home, but it isn’t really about finding home, it is about the journey – when we work together we can escape dragons, dance with jellyfish & even climb the tallest mountains.

Created by Deaf Dance Artist, Clare Adam and Autistic Dance Artist, Lesley Howard, A Home for Hamish is a space where young people can see themselves, their languages and their sensory needs represented and respected.

Age 4 - 7
