Sir David Hattenscarf and the Wonders of the World.

Five children are spending a seemingly ordinary Saturday afternoon at their grandmother’s house when an extraordinary adventure begins. Hidden away in Gran’s attic, they discover something magical, a flying carpet capable of transporting them across the world.

Their guide on this incredible journey is the wonderfully eccentric Sir David Hattenscarf, an intrepid explorer with a passion for the natural world. Together, they travel from continent to continent, encountering fascinating people, diverse cultures and some of the world’s most incredible animals.

From the Bengal tiger in India and the camels of Egypt to turtles, orangutans, Australian wildlife and the penguins and blue whales of Antarctica, every destination introduces the children to another wonder of our planet.

But this isn’t simply an adventure. As the children explore, they begin to discover that many of the world’s most remarkable animals and environments are under threat. The story introduces young audiences to important issues including climate change, endangered species and the need to protect our natural world.

With energetic songs, humour, dancing and colourful characters, Sir David Hattenscarf and the Wonders of the Worldcombines entertainment with an important message: our planet is precious, and we all have a role to play in protecting it.

The journey ends with a joyful celebration of the wonders of our world and a message of hope, unity and responsibility for future generations.
