Punch and Judy on the Meadow

Enjoy the classic and much-loved entertainment show on the Emmett's Garden Meadow this Easter.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Mr Punch is Britain's National Puppet, delighting family audiences for over 350 years. He may be daft and silly, and lose the occasional argument with a crocodile, but the secret of his success is in the joy and laughter he brings whenever he is performed well.

As part of our Easter Circus Fete this April come along and enjoy performances on the meadow throughout the day. The shows are free with general admission. The Edwardian Circus themed Easter Egg Hunt trail will also be running on the meadow. £3.50 a trail with a chocolate egg and bunny ears.

Punch and Judy will be at Emmett's Garden on Tuesday 8 April, Thursday 10 April, Tuesday 15 April, and Thursday 17 April. Showtimes at 11:00, 14:00 and 15:00.
