Nottingham Puppet Festival will be taking over the streets for a day on Saturday 27 June from 10.30am to 4.30pm.
Produced by Festival Director Alison Denholm, City Arts and the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall, and supported by Its In Nottingham, the event features free performances and walkabouts stretching from Nottingham Central Library and Listergate, through Albert Street, and up to Old Market Square.
Encounter a gentle, giant Mountain Hare leaping above the crowds, the vibrant colors of Kantaben the Roller Bird soaring through the festival skies, and kinetic sculptures including the four-metre-tall Worker Bee. Families can catch recurring shows throughout the day, including the charming bicycle-based storytelling of Penny and the Far Thing and the chaotic fun of the Wild Beasts of Silly.
