Alf has an eye for other people's possessions. Especially belongings of sentimental value. He snatches and grabs without a thought for other people’s feelings. But it's time for him to change tack and learn that there are better ways to play!

Roll up, set a sail and join Alf as he gallops through the blustery wood, along the seashore and revels in wonder as the circus comes to town.

Full of imaginative play, original songs and vibrant characters - 'Alf the Highwayman' is a show for all the family with plenty of chances to join in and no frights!
