At Craft Festival Wales, stories don’t just get told, they come to life. Join us for a joyful mix of theatre, imagination and playful surprises for audiences of all ages.

Look out for walkabout silliness and mischief with Mr Jon Jon and Kitsch n Sync, and on Sunday, a captivating performance from award-winning theatre company Hijinx Theatre. 

Crabulous!

Think you know crabs? Think again. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water… these glitter-drenched darlings have risen from the seabed to strut, sparkle and serve. Welcome to ‘Crabulous!’ – Hijinx’s new Crabaret Ex-Crabaganza.

Expect outrageous costumes, fierce competition, and a joyous celebration of being unapologetically too much. It’s high stakes at low tide, as each crab fights for the pageant crown. Who will float to the top?

Unhinged, unmissable, and utterly shell-shocking fun from Hijinx.

Cast: Ellen Groves, George Orange, Ffion Gwyther and Ashford Richards

Co-directors: Ben Pettitt-Wade and Ellen Groves
