A family-friendly puppet show about two animals in search of a restorative hug will be coming to Llanymynech next month.

Arts Alive is bringing The Hug to Llanymynech Village Hall on Friday, April 7.

The heart-warming story follows a hedgehog and a tortoise both looking for the right person to give them a much-needed hug.

A spokesperson from Arts Alive said: “They face many rejections along the way from a rather grumpy badger, a squirrel (who knows a lot about nuts), a shy frog, a fabulous fox, and an owl who wants to be wise.

“It’s a journey full of fun, laughter and love, and at the end, a very special hug from the puppets.”

“Based on, ‘The Hug’ by Eoin McLaughlin and Polly Dunbar, and set to Tom Gray’s beautiful and witty music, The Hug is a tale of hope, empathy and acceptance, and a heart-warming story loved by children and adults alike. “

Long Nose Puppets, the production team behind The Hug have produced four much-loved and critically-acclaimed puppet shows for children since their launch in 2006.
