Activities
Performances are given by large scale puppets (designed specifically for full-size theatres) and manipulated in Banraku style by professional puppeteers. Most productions are performed in �Black Light� where both the puppets and scenery glow like magic while operators seem to disappear among a kaleidoscope of fluorescent colours. Free Guided tour taking place at 11am & 2.00pm. Book sale will take place in the conservatory tearoom, souvenir shop, lunches, ice cream and snacks available!
