About this event
Join us on Thursday 31 July for a morning of piskey mischief, bewitched hares and mermaid magic!
Cornish storytellers Mazed will bring alive the stories of Enys Tregarthen, aka Nellie Sloggett, with the help of a very special puppet and their own form of illustrated storytelling, Cornishibai*.
Prepare to be aMazed!
There are three sessions for the storytelling at 10am, 10.45am and 11.30am. The shows are free and there’s no need to book.
Did you know…marionette making is on the red list of endangered crafts. The unique dual marionette of Nellie Sloggett/Enys Tregarthen was made by John Roberts, one of the country’s last remaining marionette makers.
*Cornishibai derives from Japanese Kamishibai.
