Join David Almond to celebrate the paperback publication of his mesmerising book Puppet.
Tickets £5 adult / £3 child. Suitable for the whole family, ages 6+.
Silvester is the great puppet master who decides to create one last puppet from the fragments on his work bench. A strange funny awkward boy comes to life between his hands, and leads Silvester into a series of wondrous encounters and adventures. It’s a story about creativity, the joys of childhood and old age.
David is an inspirational speaker who touches the hearts and the imaginations of people of all ages. He’ll leave you hungering to make a puppet of your own.
Come along with an open mind, ask lots of questions and discover the puppets that wait to be discovered within us all.
