Punch and Judy show

Once again we have 2 wonderful Punch and Judy shows by Jonathan McCann. These shows are very well attended and much enjoyed by both children and adults.

3.10pmPunch & Judy, Green in Front of the Church
4.40pmPunch & Judy, Green in Front of the Church

Meet Mr Punch, Judy, the policeman and the sausages at the Punch and Judy shows.

Here is some information from Jonathan’s website about the shows:

Each performance is slightly different as ideas and suggestions from the audience are readily made a part of the show resulting in an interactive experience. Children are delighted when Mr. Punch has a conversation with them!

At the end of the show, Mr. Punch ends up with no friends (except Toby the dog) and the children are asked about Mr. Punch’s behaviour and their responses discussed.

They always understand the moral of the show: If you hit people, you end up with few friends.
