- Bakewell based Babbling Vagabonds Storytelling Theatre Company, presents their NEW play in full 'Wee Meg Barnileg, the naughtiest girl in the world'.

Wee Meg storms through her young life with the destructive force of a tornado - that is until one mischievous day when she meets more than her match ...the faeries... It is a theatre adventure for wide-eyed children of all ages, packed with comic characters, playful puppets, live original music, mischief and magic.
