Outdoor theatre comes to Preston nature reserve this weekend

Discover what’s in Angelica Sprocket’s pink pockets as the much-loved children character is brought to life in an outdoor theatre performance at Brockholes.

Folksy Theatre will take audience members on a journey through the quirky contents of Angelica’s coat, during this charming children’s tale, written by former Children’s Laureate Sir Quentin Blake.

The show offers poetry and puppetry, wonder and whimsy and fun for all the family, this Sunday August 25 at the Preston nature reserve.

Expect colourful characters and strange surprises, suitable for all ages, seven and upwards. What better way to spend a Sunday evening with the family this bank holiday weekend?

Families are encouraged to bring their own chairs and comforts such as blankets, along with a picnic. Refreshments are available before, during and after the performance.
