A spellbinding sensory-immersive journey around the world and into the heart of Hans Christian Andersen’s timeless tale, The Flying Trunk

Embark on a magical journey with Last Unicorn Airways!

Join two whimsical baggage handlers as they recreate a fantastical round-the-world adventure aboard the final flight of Last Unicorn Airways, opening suitcases brimming with trinkets, fine clothes, alluring smells and exciting tales. 

Among these treasures lies a special case containing The Flying Trunk, a captivating Arabian Nights-inspired fable about a daring, globe-trotting storyteller with nothing but a magical flying suitcase!

Adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's timeless story, the show uses playful storytelling to remind us to see everyday life as an adventure and to cherish our world and each other. It's a heartwarming reflection on courage, connection and resilience - perfect for families and children, including those with complex needs and disabilities.

After the show, step into a sensory immersive installation, offering a unique, interactive experience for every audience member.

Last Unicorn Airways was co-created through working creatively with young people and was originally co-commissioned by Barnsley Civic and ARC Stockton-on-Tees.

 

Last Unicorn Airways is a Blanket Fort Club production
 

'An enjoyable and immersive journey around the world, giving full permission for young children to explore their imaginations…. The tunnel is a quite magical conclusion to a fully immersive, fast-paced entertainment experience that stimulates young children to explore their imaginations and discover their creativity'
Everything Theatre
'The kids absolutely loved it and the feedback from staff and pupils has been amazing. Several staff have told me it’s been the best production we’ve had. You have thought of everything to make it accessible for our kids – they loved the slapstick humour, the snowball fight, audience engagement and especially the tunnel'
Carl Haag, Deputy Head, Kelford School
'We all absolutely loved Last Unicorn Airways. All three of my kids are rarely equally engaged, but they all had lots to talk about and play around afterwards'
