Set in ancient woodlands, The Treetop Circus is a strange, silly, mad and magical puppet show for families.

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 ancient woodlands, The Treetop Circus is a strange, silly, mad and magical puppet show for families, inspired by the Two Moors Pine Marten project, a conservation project that has reintroduced once native pine martens back to Dartmoor and Exmoor.

Stay for a craft workshop and learn how to make your very own dancing pine marten puppet out of paper and card! Who is the show for? Perfect for all children aged 5 – 11 and their grown-ups (all children must be accompanied by an adult). Children will be seated on the floor so feel free to bring a cushion to sit on. This is a relaxed performance: audience members with neurodivergent needs are welcome! This performance lasts for approx 35mins and is followed by a craft workshop which lasts approx 1 hour.

The Treetop Circus (by Flying with Strings Marionette Theatre) is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and the National Lottery Community Fund.
