- Free event (admission applies)
Mr Punch is Britain's National Puppet, delighting family audiences for over 350 years. He may be daft and silly, and lose the occasional argument with a crocodile, but the secret of his success is in the joy and laughter he brings whenever he is performed.
As part of our Edwardian Easter this April come along and enjoy performances on the meadow throughout the day. The shows are free with general admission. The Edwardian Circus themed Easter Egg Hunt trail will also be running on the meadow £3.50 a trail with a chocolate egg and bunny ears.
Punch and Judy will be at Emmetts Garden on 14 and 16 April. Showtimes at 11:00, 14:00 and 15:00.
