Roll up! Roll up! Roll up! Count Cuckoo’s Treetop Circus is coming to a woodland near you!
Watch in wonder at the nimble fingered, nut-cracking escapades of Little Red the Juggler. Prepare to be astounded by the high energy hijinks of Grey-Trix the Magician. Hold your breath in disbelief at the gravity-defying aerial antics of Dartmoor's own marvellous mustelid The Flying Pine Marten…
Set in the ancient woodlands of Dartmoor, The Treetop Circus is a strange, silly, mad and magical puppet show for families, inspired by the Two Moors Pine Marten project that has reintroduced once native pine martens back to Dartmoor and Exmoor.
Created by Flying with Strings Marionette Theatre.
Perfect for all children aged 5 - 11 and their grown-ups. Made with neurodivergent audience members in mind.
