In this interactive show by Meerkat Productions, the audience goes on a whirlwind tour of classic fairy tales—each told using a different puppetry style. 

Watch The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Goldilocks and The Three Bears, and The Three Little Pigs come to life through marionettes, shadow puppetry, and hand puppets.

But here’s the twist: the audience spins the “triangle of trickery” to choose the tale and draws from a hat to pick the puppetry style—or so they think!  

Suitable for ages 5 to 9. Free event. Bookings essential.

Adults also require a ticket, and children must not be left unattended.
