This puppet extravaganza follows the impassioned attempts of two animal enthusiasts to share their love of and concern for animals with the world. They take in animals that need respite, care or a temporary home and have, accidentally, ended up with a whole sanctuary, but with no visitors! Featuring puppetry, live music and playful characters, Scarlet Oak Theatre welcomes you to join the conversation about animal conservation. Suitable for ages 5+ but we welcome younger audiences and unaccompanied grownupsโ€ฆ https://theath.co.uk/series/the-zoo-that-comes-to-you/

Calling all families in Warminster, Wiltshire!

This Sunday join us for a silly, joyful and engaging production, designed for ages 5-11 years. With puppetry, live music and unforgetable characters, we can't wait to bring the zoo, to you!
