Anansi and the Lost Sun
Wednesday 28 October 2026, Multiple times
Clipstone Village Hall, Free
When darkness falls across the land, the animals must work to bring back the light. Who will succeed? The powerful eagle? The clever monkey? Or a spider and his friends?
Find out with Anansi and the Lost Sun. Inspired by West African tales, this one-of-a-kind puppet show is presented by Swallow Wings Puppetry, a community arts and theatre organisation celebrating African-Caribbean culture and history.
There will be two performances, running from 10am and 12pm and 1pm and 3pm. Every performance is followed by an artist-led workshop, where youngsters can create their own puppet to take home.
Anansi and the Lost Sun is suitable for aged six and above.
Address: Clipstone Village Hall, 90 Church Road, Clipstone, NG21 9DL
This puppet show is a collaboration between Open Doors and City Arts Nottingham, as part of our Early Years and Families project.
