A baby echidna, a lonely girl and a whole lot of heart - Spike is a beautiful interactive shadow puppetry performance that follows the journey of a baby echidna searching for where he belongs, while helping a young girl find the confidence to stand up to bullies. Expect plenty of laughs, adventure and a meaningful message for little ones.

After the show, kids can get hands-on in a shadow puppetry workshop where they’ll design their own puppet, learn how to bring it to life and even perform their own mini show before taking their creation home.

📍 Montrose Town Centre
🗓️ July 6 2026
