Grace and Archie live in city and love scootering all around, racing through piles of leaves. But one day, Grace is sure she sees something small and spiky… a hedgehog! But Archie tells Grace, “Hedgehogs don’t live in the city!”
Join Cat & Hutch for an interactive storytelling show of Lucy Reynolds’, “Hedgehogs Don’t Live in the City”, and go on a fun adventure where you’ll learn all about our little spiky friends that we find in our city and how to care for them.
Cat & Hutch is a storytelling company dedicated to bringing children’s books to life through interactive shows and workshops. Cat & Hutch was founded by Katrina Spreyer and Rebecca Hutchins and will be their fifth year returning to H&F ArtsFest.
This show is part of HF ArtsFest
Jenna grew up in Staffordshire, where she fostered creativity from a young age drawing and painting, and photographing her toy Trolls & Sylvanian Families amongst the flowers in her garden. Always passionate about art and photography, Jenna went on to pursue a degree in Fine Art and career in photoshoot production and magazine publishing before returning to art and becoming a designer and illustrator. Jenna’s children’s book illustrations are inspired by the beauty of nature all around us; using details from leaves, flowers and insects to create pattern and pretty designs.
Lucy grew up on a farm in’t countryside, and developed her love of the natural world roaming free in the great outdoors. She now lives in the Big Smoke but remains an avid bird spotter, leaf identifier and flower picker, despite her urban environs. Lucy’s fascination with all things wild comes from her West Country origins, and drew her to study the two great noticers of nature, Thomas Hardy and G.M. Hopkins, for her PhD in Poetry. From a successful career in consultancy and project management of inspirational community programmes, Lucy returned to her first true love: the written and spoken word.
