A FAMILY puppet show will be coming to Whitchurch this weekend to both entertain and bring an environmental message.

Arts Alive will be putting on Woodland Tales with Grandad in the Talbot Theatre on Sunday, March 5.

The puppet show concerns the future of woods.

A spokesperson for the event said: "Arts Alive is bringing a family puppet show with an environmental message to The Talbot Theatre, Whitchurch on Sunday March 5.

"Woodland Tales with Granddad features a cast of extraordinary puppets who have an important and timely environmental message to share.

"Briarbush, the old dog fox can sense a change in the air.

"Something is happening in the woods, voices can be heard, and a strange metallic smell fills the air.

OTHER NEWS:

"Machines are gathering at its edge, and a mysterious call is hard across the valley.

"On the eventide of the summer solstice, Briarbush returns home to his den after a long day’s hunting to find his neighbours from the opposite valley distressed.

"They have a message to tell him, a message that could affect the future of his beloved woods.

"Briarbush knows there is only one human he can trust, a kind man known as Granddad.

"But will there be enough time?

"Pickled Image, the production team behind Woodland Tales with Granddad, specialise in in puppetry for live performances and theatre.
