Keep your eyes on my Stories today for a ticket giveaway to the Olivier-Nominated production of The Nutcracker (@nutcrackerlondon), lighting up St Martins Theatre (home of the London longest running show @mousetraplondon) in London’s West End this Christmas, brought to you by those talented wonders @littlebulbtheatre

This is one of the most joyful, imaginative, high-energy shows in the West End: a wild mash-up of Christmas magic, mischievous mice, giant poos, puppetry, live music, 80s nostalgia, brilliant actors and a phenomenal backstage team (big shout out to the exceptional production manager @jennywheels13)

If you’re looking for must-see London theatre, festive family entertainment, or the most original Christmas show in the West End, this is it. And the ticket giveaway is coming very soon.

It is a joy to design and a pleasure to put my name to!

Stay tuned to my Stories so you don’t miss your chance!

This Thursday I’ll be leading a Puppetry & Puppet-Making Workshop at @derbytheatre , and honestly… this one means a lot.
Derby Theatre isn’t just another venue for me — it’s the place where my career first took root. I was unbelievably lucky to find myself there early on, surrounded by people who believed in me, taught me, challenged me, and helped me grow into the artist I am today, some of whom are sadly no longer with us. Their kindness and support shaped everything that followed.

Walking back into Derby Theatre now feels a bit like stepping into a memory — like coming home. It’s only a stone’s throw from where I grew up (quite a long stones throw but its not that far from Chesterfield!), and the walls still hold all that history, heart, and inspiration that first lit the spark for me.

If you’re someone who loves storytelling, creativity, theatre magic, movement, making, imagination, performance, then this workshop is for you.
Let’s build, play, explore, and bring characters to life together — the same way I once learned to do in this very space.

AND IF THAT ISN’T ENOUGH SAM WILDE FOR YOU… I’ll also be part of the Creative Careers Panel on Friday! Bring your questions, your curiosity, your chaos — come say hi!!
