To learn more about the art of puppetry and how it can enhance creativity, health and wellbeing join Idolrich Theatre Rotto for a free day of activity, exhibition and performance at Ore Community Centre on Saturday April 24.

The Dreamcloth Puppet Open Day starts at 10am with a session for carers and co-ordinators to show how puppetry can be used as a tool to help older people develop their creativity, dexterity and confidence.

This is followed by lunch and an exhibition of work at 12.30pm and showings and workshops at 2pm, which is open to all and will include a mix of puppet making and performance.
