ARTISTIC POLICY
The Strangelings usually find stuff in second-hand shops or skips and think, 'Oh that would be good in a show'; ideas spring from old photos, great stories, and things that make them laugh.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Fantastic and original.’ Northumberland Gazette

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Meet Henry Burns and George Entwhistle, gentleman photographers. They will pose you, dress you, and provide you with suitable props, backdrops and facial hair to ensure your photograph is a perfect work of art, ready to take pride of place in anyone's parlour.

A wolf-boy, a squeamish fakir, a feline escapologist and a mermaid named Terence, these are a few of exhibits. Allow the dapper and demented Isaiah Crank and his assistant Tolley-boy to guide you through the last remaining Victorian freakshow! Directed by Flick Ferdinando.

Two men, two wheels and some unfeasibly long shoes. Strangelings have stripped it down to the bare essentials. Daredevil trick cycling, achingly beautiful acrobalance and a never before attempted escape finale. Directed by Flick Ferdinando

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
Join your curators for a guided tour around the travelling Museum. Browse the collection of found objects and discover the stories behind the exhibits. Listen to tales of lost shoes and found gloves, missing pens and lost loves amongst this unique archive of the ordinary.

Climb aboard the safari Land Rover for an experience of a lifetime as Dave recreates the thrills of being on Safari. Learn about the wildlife and delicate ecosystems Dave has studied for over 20 years. Hear stories of close encounters and tight scrapes and witness the passion of a conservationist, wildlife enthusiast – and former big game hunter as he takes you
