A life-size Sperm Whale's washed up in Surrey - to educate people about the life of sea creatures and their battle to survive.

The 50-foot inflatable will be in the garden of the Haslemere Museum.

Families will be able to squeeze into the belly of the enormous whale where they find themselves in the depths of the bubbling, kelp-swirling ocean for this immersive theatrical experience.

With the use of puppets, comedy and music, theatre company Circo Rum Ba Ba explores the tale of sea creatures and their battle to survive in an ocean full of rubbish.

Kay Topping, Education Officer at Haslemere Museum, said: “I'm really looking forward to this truly immersive theatre experience tackling the extremely important issue of plastic waste in the ocean. So pleased we can stage the whale in our garden!”

Performances will take place at 12.00pm, 12.30pm, 2.00pm, 2.30pm, 4.00pm and 4.30pm.
