A delightfully creative and story told puppet show, with accompanying live music and clever everyday object theatre to inspire the children's imagination and adults too. A very vain Emperor orders two swindlers to make him a set of clothes, the like of which has never ever been seen before… or since! Inspiring puppeteering, object theatre and original live music bring this tale delightfully to life; don’t miss it.

Also Craft Activity Colour-in and Cut-Out Puppets and Masks in our Cafe from 10am before and after the show. Lots of designs to choose from, mermaids, sharks, butterflies, dragons, rabbits....and the Emperor too. All colouring-in, scissors and hole punches provided (£2.50/2.00).
