Each year, the Family Arts Festival brings an incredible variety of theatre, art, music, dance, literature, film, and circus events to communities across the UK, and this year Watford is going to be treated to magic and puppetry.

On Saturday, October 25, enjoy Jack at the Beanstalk Cafe, a storytelling puppet performance that children aged four to eight and their families will love. This will take place at Northwood Community Arts.

On Sunday, October 26, at Watford Central Library, is the musical puppet show Savour the Flavour – Planet Munch, an interactive theatre experience for the whole family, with a lead-in puppet-making session – your puppet will then dance in the show!

And on Saturday, November 1, get ready to be dazzled by the Champions of Magic, at Watford Colosseum. This award-winning team of liars, swindlers and cheats will treat you to a spectacular night of card manipulation, death-defying stunts, mind-boggling sleight of hand and stunning illusions.
