About the event
The Travelling Players (Forest Forge, Bumblefly and Mischievous Theatre) return with their festive production. This year’s show presents the story of Pinocchio, a wooden marionette who seeks to become a real boy. Pinocchio’s nose grows whenever he tells a lie. The story follows his encounters with the Fox, his flight on the back of a pigeon, his experience of being swallowed by a giant shark, his attempt to grow gold coins by planting them, and his transformation into a donkey. It will feature live action, music, and puppetry for audiences of all ages. Refreshments and a licensed bar will be available.
It starts at 6.30pm (doors open 5.45pm). Tickets cost £10 for adults, children (under 16) £5. Available from 1 December at the Borough Café (cash only), or by BACS by texting 07760 415818 or 07545 598887 with ticket requirements.
All profits will go toward the refurbishment of the Memorial Hall…
