Explorers aged 6 -11 are needed to join a secret agency and take part in an intriguing mission, using their super sleuth skills to uncover evidence for the existence of Borrowers (the small people who live under the floorboards). Based on The Borrowers by Mary Norton, The Great Escape (A Borrower’s Tale) will lead children on a fully supervised adventure through BAC’s beautiful Victorian building on a quest for Bob the Borrower, discovering tiny clues and helping him escape the evil clutches of the KBD movement (Keep Borrowers Down).

For the first time ever BAC brings together seminal works from around the world with new commissions from leading artists in the field: performances from the tender and heartfelt to the downright scary.
