A great panto for all the family. Did you know that Cinderella had a little mouse called Timothy? And that the two silly Ugly Sisters had a nasty cat called Cornelius? Oh yes they did! And there are plenty more surprises in store with our magical version of everyone’s favourite story.
So join in and have fun with our classic fairy tale production.

The morning show is specifically aimed at young children, with nurseries traveling for miles to let their kids see the puppets. It kept our 2 year old and 5 month old entertained the entire time.

First saw Purves Puppets at the Edinburgh festival when my sons were young, now taking the grandchildren. Wonderful children’s theatre. Excellent entertainment, and lovely staff
