Jacqueline Avery, Creative Director commented: “Come along and let us immerse you in some fabulous storytelling theatre, you can meet Great Uncle Archie and Pocket, our two Sea Turtle Puppets and learn all about how to look after their home. We thoroughly look forward to being part of the Nyetimber Dorset Seafood Festival for the first time this year and hope to see you there too!”.  

The MakeShift Ensemble has been gaining more and more recognition for it’s hugely engaging work since the company formed in late 2015, being invited to perform all over the country and enjoying a residency at Eden Project, Cornwall for summer 2018.  Don’t miss out on the chance to catch them on the 14^th  July.
