There will be free performances, parades and workshops taking place across Nottingham
The city centre will be taken over by puppets this weekend, with a whole range of free performances, parades and workshops on offer. The Nottingham Puppet Festival will be bringing the city to life from Tuesday, April 9 to Sunday, April 21, but will have a special day of entertainment for visitors in the city on Saturday, April 13.
Gods and Demons from ancient stories will be brought to life in a family-friendly street theatre show, creating an exciting fusion of large-scale puppetry, martial arts, physical theatre and storytelling. This will really be brought to life with the use of two 12-foot puppets, which will interact with the audiences.From 12pm in Old Market Square, you will be able to see Mahogany Carnival Design’s spectacular costumes.
Outside the library you will be able to watch Lempen’s The Fisher and His Wife, which is a story told from a box, mounted at the front of a penny farthing bicycle that will keep both children and adults entertained. HandMade Theatre will also be performing outside the library with Tell Me A Story.
