Ernie's Journey is a magical circus theatre adventure for family audiences. This show is particularly enchanting for 4-11 year-olds but the high-skill circus will amaze audiences of all ages. It felt like nobody really believed in Ernie and sometimes he wondered whether he even believed in himself.

He discovers that being himself and following his own dreams can lead to all kinds of wild adventures, but it is the people we love who make it all worth it.

Ernie is a young boy from Coventry who finds an old pirate ship on the banks of Coventry Canal.
