The Magic Sweet Jar - Vauxhall City Farm

17 Oct 2026

The Magic Sweet Jar

Step inside a magical world where everything is made of sweets!

When fun-loving Louisa discovers a mysterious jar in her uncle’s forbidden study, she is whisked away to Sweetland – a colourful world of lemonade seas, toffee valleys and peppermint mountains. But the wicked Sugar King threatens the land, and only Louisa can stop him.

Joined by Choco, a wonderfully imperfect chocolate friend, Louisa embarks on an extraordinary adventure filled with puppetry, masks, magic, original songs, and plenty of audience participation.

Funny, imaginative and full of heart, The Magic Sweet Jar is an interactive family show about friendship, courage and learning that every feeling has its place. 

For ages 6+ and their grown-ups.

Developed  with support from the Marlowe Theatre.

Venue: Vauxhall City Farm

The Front Room at Vauxhall City Farm is a bright, airy space with full-length windows overlooking the café terrace (with a capacity of 48)—ideal for daytime performances, workshops, and intimate shows. Situated right next to the on-site café, the space can be expanded into a larger open-plan area for bigger events by opening up the adjoining wall, offering great flexibility for Lambeth Fringe performers.

Vauxhall City Farm is one of London’s most loved urban farms, nestled just minutes from Vauxhall station. Known for its welcoming community feel, it offers a unique blend of rural charm and urban accessibility. Hosting a show here means being part of a lively, inclusive environment that brings together creativity, community, and a touch of the countryside in the heart of the city.
