TOMTEN has watched over his farm since the sunbeams were young.

He has seen generations come and go. But where do they come from, and where do they go?

A deep riddle plays on Tomten’s mind.

One thing he knows for sure is that spring is coming and soon the cows will be grazing in the fields, and swallows singing in the trees again.

Performed by three puppeteers, Tomten uses a combination of puppetry styles including table top rod, shadow and object manipulation to bring to life a variety of delightful farm characters including Tomten’s trusty barn cat.

Tomten is a gentle and poignant story of the circle of life, suitable for children aged three and over and their families.

Tickets for the show are £7.50 (£6.50 for concessions) or £24 for a family of four.
