Local charity, Children’s World, organised a festive special day at Paddington Farm. Visitors watched outdoor entertainment, made angels and fairies to take home and wandered around alongside a very tall elf and real-life fairy. Kristen Lindop, Children’s World Director, said, “We were, thankfully, blessed by the weather and were thrilled to be able to treat local households to some fantastic outdoor theatre from Tall Tails Theatre Company, Same Same but Different and Charlie Miller & Claire. Alongside a wonderful craft session, supplied by Yeast Scrapstore. “Children’s World would like to thank our generous funders who made this special community day possible; the National Emergencies Trust, Somerset Community Foundation and Somerset Skills & Learning.
A THEATRE company based in Shepton Mallet have created a Christmas film for families to enjoy during the festive season, thanks to funding from Arts Council England. What s Superhero Wants for Christmas, created by Tall Tails Theatre Company, is now available for free online. The film follows the journey of Zinnia, a superhero, greeting new students at the Superhero Academy. It quickly emerges that, while friendly and kind, Zinnia is lonely: she is so busy helping and rescuing others that the only companion she has is Zoop, her favourite pencil rubber from training school. All she wants for Christmas is a friend.
