Theatre in the Library: The Treetop Circus

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.
