So this week we’ve started the final rehearsals of ‘The New Follies’ - the new professional pierrot troupe, inspired by Will Catlin. On Saturday 29th September, we’ll be performing with the junior troupe (‘The Jollies’) all along the promenade between Venue Cymru & the pier 11am-4pm, with a launch of a major exhibition about pierrots at 4.30pm in Venue Cymru - do come along! (The New Follies will also be out & about on Sunday 30th September at roughly the same times).
Wise people, wise words, wise work...

Grand Theatre of Lemmings
A huge thank you to our volunteer animators; who have run around on stilts, sung songs, peformed on stage, loaded vans, eaten ice-cream and been all in all a brilliant addition to the Lemmings. And also a thank you to dear 'Uncle Tacko' for licking them into shape in addition to the ice-creams!
It’s our last day performing with Uncle Tacko’s Flea Circus at beautiful Beaumaris... Come and see me & Sergeant Spike at 11.30 outside the wonderful Red Boat ice cream parlour, 1.30 on the beautiful pier and 3pm in the captivating 800 year-old castle. What a lovely place to be beside the seaside!
