Summer of Play: Meet the Monster Circus and have-a-go with puppeteer, Georgia Hill

Roll up to meet the Monster Circus! Each of Georgia’s friendly monster puppet possesses the ability to perform a circus act. Your job is to become the puppeteers and bring the circus to life!

  • Booking not needed

Can you tell jokes like a clown? Can you work as a team to make the monster juggle? Or dare to make the puppet walk the tightrope? Drop in to play, perform and explore the art of puppetry with puppet designer/maker, Georgia Hill. Be inspired and make your own sock puppet with puppeteer, Chloe Paterson.

No need to book, just turn up! Free with your membership or standard admission.
