Led by Patrick Ashe.

The Magic Circle has very strict rules about revealing any secrets of magic, however, for one day only, PaTRICK will be revealing some of his favourite magic tricks, all of which are easy to do, impressive and fun to learn! Each ticket includes a special magic box, which contains some of PaTRICKs favourite tricks, so you can look and feel like a real-life magician - even if you've never done magic before!

Your ticket includes a Magic Prop Box – box to be collected from the Norden Farm Takeaway ahead of the session. Family Workshops are designed for children and adults to get creative together – your ticket is for your household.

We want everyone to be safe while taking part at home so please ensure that you have suitable space to move in and have cleared the space of any potential hazards.

This session should be fun for you and your family, please support where necessary and ensure that children are always supervised during the workshop

Pinocchio

Visit the incredible world of Stuff and Nonsense as they bring Pinocchio to our stage for Christmas 2024.

Three very funny men seek refuge in a grand but abandoned old house - one of them is Pinocchio and it turns out he’s had quite a life!

Stuff and Nonsense are leaders in family theatre. Their adaptation of Pinocchio combines classic elements of the story – a poor woodcarver, the tell-tale growing nose, the dream of becoming a real boy – with their hallmark hilarity, skilled puppetry, original music, fantastic staging, outstanding performers and extraordinary physical tricks.

'The show was extremely clever and I was very impressed by the fantastic use of staging, which is definitely one of the key elements, along with the lively music, that kept my little boy transfixed throughout' coastalmum.co.uk

Invest in your children’s imaginations: join us in the theatre and take playfulness home with you!
