Space Chickens - Sun 27 July 3pm - Chiddingstone Castle Orangery Holiday fun with a trip into space! SPACE CHICKENS is a brilliant show, brimming with puppetry, original live music (who’d have thought, music written for chickens no less?) and imagination. bit.ly/3UfQCd6
An adventurous chicken who is blasted into space to solve all of our planet’s problems. The Puppet Van will park-up on the lawn outside the iconic Chiddingstone Castle for this lovely story telling event for all the family. With stunning puppetry and original live banjo synth music follow this rocket fuelled tale all on top of a van. Join us, for an intergalactic adventure from the hen house, to the milky way. This is a madcap adventure following a chicken who is sent to space, with environmental themes and about the joy of growing things.
