Didcot Garden Party - Buzz

Join us in our courtyard on Saturday 5 August for a FREE family theatre show Buzz at 11am and 1pm.

• Buzz is a bee-rilliant adventure! Join Billy Bumble as he shrinks down to bee-size and learns about the troubles that they face. Featuring spell-binding puppetry and a giant honeycomb set, join us for a whirlwind ride, avoiding grumpy Mr Fred and the gaping jaws of Shredder the dog. 

Buzz finishes with the audience being given wildflower seeds, to plant and help our black and yellow friends to flourish!

Created by award-winning puppetry and theatre company, Smoking Apples. Co-commissioned by Applause Touring and Tunbridge Wells Puppetry Festival. Supported by Kent County Council.

Didcot Garden Party is a summer long installation in Didcot Town Square just outside Cornerstone Arts Centre; injecting colour, life and fun into the heart of our town.  The Garden Party will feature a range of shows and workshops across the summer holidays from 22 July to 30 August. There will be pop up events at various times, but the Garden Party site itself will be open throughout the week.

The town square in front of Cornerstone Arts Centre will be transformed for the Garden Party into a mini-festival site, providing a welcoming and relaxed environment. So if you want to try your hand out at an arts workshop, marvel at some street theatre, or just fancy wiling away the summer afternoons in a giant bean bag with a glass of something chilled, we've got you covered.
