The Secret History of Dartington Village Hall

Forty years on from his first performance at Dartington Village Hall, Tony Gee is coming out of retirement to make a special celebratory show on April 12th as part of the big day of events to celebrate the Hall’s centenary.

In the workshop we will discover and create “The Secret History of Dartington Village Hall“.

There are places for 30 children aged 7 or over. Everyone will be guided to make their own superb rod puppet character and help write this never-before and never-again told tale.

The secret will be released at 4.30 on April 12th after a workshop that runs from 10.30 to 4.00pm with a short break before we perform the one and only telling of the secret history.

Bring your lunch.

Tickets are £5 and available from here: https://www.totnespulse.co.uk/product/ticket-the-secret-history/
