        Arthur Ransome’s classic young persons’ adventure of sailing, explorers and pirates comes to Riverlea Theatre!

        The Walker children set sail on their beloved boat Swallow for the summer holiday of a lifetime. But their adventure truly begins when they encounter the Amazon Pirates, and the dastardly Captain Flint!

        "A celebration of friendship, imagination, fair play, and exploration, Swallows and Amazons inspires even the most landlocked kid to dream of messing about in boats, building fires, camping out and navigating by the stars." – The Washington Post
