The Last Baguette makes eccentric, accessible & entertaining work for family audiences.
The company was formed from a shared love of bakery and humour in Paris by graduates of the Philippe Gaulier & Jacques Lecoq schools. 
We use live music, physical comedy, puppetry, visual storytelling & silliness to talk about important issues of our times.
We are passionate about & experienced in making work with children & young people & leading community projects.

​Playtime is back for Autumn 2026 with Ratty's Birthday Party

Play-along theatre adventures for 2-6 year olds and their grownups.
It’s Ratty’s Birthday, we are all invited to her party, but will she get everything in time? It could be Mayhem! But we are all hoping for a little bit of Magic at this party...
Join Ratty and friends for a fun, relaxed participatory theatre session. There’ll be silliness, play-acting, games and music in this play-along theatre adventure... Expect to play, move, watch and laugh.

Ratty has a lot of ideas but sometimes things don’t go according to plan....can you help her by playing along and working together? A fun and gentle introduction to theatre with play-along storytelling, original music, puppetry, theatre games, movement, and lots of imaginative play.
​ Younger and older siblings welcome!

Thank you to everyone who came & saw
​​BIN RAT - a fun, feral, family comedy!!!

A rat-astic and realistic look into refuse and recycling. Rummage through the rubble with Bin Rat and her friends to discover where all the junk goes! Scrape scraps off the streets and find out what literally happens to litter in this fun, feral, family show.
​Bin Rat is an outdoor interactive theatre & puppetry show that explores our relationship with our waste and where it goes, and asks the question: is tidiness really the answer?​
“Bin Rat was superb! The show was fantastic – high energy, colourful and engaging, well received by our family audiences. Highly recommended!”
Adam Laughton, Director of Frome Festival
