Outdoor theatre: Pinocchio

Illyria is back! This summer, the award-winning company presents Pinocchio, a timeless classic for the whole family. Pack a picnic and a chair or blanket, and come along to a magical evening of entertainment.

  • Booking essential

A wooden puppet runs away, hoping to find fun and adventure, but instead finds demanding bosses, con-artists and peer-pressure. Bombarded by money, games and other attention-grabbing attractions, how can Pinocchio ever become a real boy when even lies told to cover up awkward truths are as plain as the nose on his face?

Pack a picnic as Illyria swoops in with another unforgettable season of outdoor theatre. Visit illyria. co.uk to find out more.
