The show, brought to town by drama company Garlic Theatre, takes to the air on Friday 29th August and promises to be the perfect ticket to keep children entertained during the summer holidays.

Follow the wacky adventures of Professor Bix Horn as he flies by the seat of his pants and tries to build a flying machine out of the most unlikely things. Soaring above is a Harpy bird who steals his most precious possession – but how will he get it back?

Founded in 1996, Garlic Theatre is an international award-winning company whose innovative productions have delighted family audiences in the UK and around the world.

Acorn’s artistic director Craig Hawes said the production came at the perfect time in the school holiday calendar.

”Ideas for keeping the children entertained are beginning to dry up by the end of the August holidays, and we thought what can be better than a sparkling town centre matinee?” he said.

So sit back and enjoy the ride as Garlic Theatre, with beautifully crafted puppets, a bowler hat and a balloon, take you all on a hair-brained journey of a lifetime.

Tickets for the show, which takes off at 2.30pm, are priced £5.

They can be purchased by calling the box offfice which is open 12–3pm Monday to Friday and 10-12pm on Saturday.
