Leicester Giant Puppets | The Dress Rehearsal

5 Comments

LEICESTER GIANT PUPPETS

Fantastic dress rehearsal last night at Birstall Methodist Church. The puppeteers were getting into the swing of things and the puppets together for the first time looked amazing!! We reckon over 15 different groups have been involved in the creation of these big friendly giants and we can’t wait for their debut at the Leicester Christmas Lights Switch on at 3.30pm on Sunday November 16th 2014 in the Town Hall Square. The puppets will put on a fabulous re-telling of the Nativity Story – suitable for all ages – we would love to see you there!

  1. Love it! Great ‘character’s…

    • Thanks Jules! I love how varied they are having been made by different groups of
      people!

      • Yes that probably has had an effect!
        The top picture is just great!
        Perhaps a social media post on each character: head shot, personal profile, ambitions, favourite food… #excited #advent

  2. Wow, absolutely delightful and so full of joy!! Thanks for all the planning and what must have been hours and hours and hours of hard work that has gone into this fantastic addition to Leicester’s Christmas Lights Switch On. People will really appreciate it on the day!

  3. Brilliant. Every blessing for this project.
