Your Man's puppet
THE CIRCUS STACHAMOOSE

 Have you ever dreamed of a world that is different?
Where life is celebrated with enthusiasm...
...and where the simplest things are enjoyed and looked upon with fascination?
That's where the brothers Stachamoose come from.
They have travelled far and wide, bringing strange and wondrous things with them from along the way.
This is their circus, their home, their story.
Come join us for a while.
Who knows?
Maybe there’s a Stachamoose in you too!
 
Your Man’s Puppets were a huge hit last year at our festival, and we are delighted to welcome them back again with their new show.
