About Cub
A storm is coming and the waters are rising. What will happen to the home where Kit, Mum and Nai Nai live? What about the fox and her cubs?
Climb inside our den for an exciting story about how big our families really are.
Cub is a audio story and den installation co-created with children from Cottesmore Academy, inspired by the themes of Seedling, and is designed for children aged 7-12.
Younger children may enjoy Cub, though it may be a bit scary when the flood happens and there might be some bits that need explaining. If you would like to check the contents of Cub to gauge if it’s suitable for your children, please download our Content Explainer document here.
Cub is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. The offer is free but we’d love donations to help support the work we do continuing - you can donate any amount here.
