Puffling Percy in Aberystwyth Arts Centre is a heartwarming family show that brings adventure, music, and puppetry to young audiences. Designed for children aged 4 to 10 years, this enchanting show brings friendship, courage, and self-discovery to the stage in a beautifully crafted production that will capture young imaginations.
An Uplifting Story for Young Audiences
Percy is a puffling who feels safest in his cosy burrow, reluctant to spread his wings and venture into the world. His parents, Map and Pap, encourage him to fly, but Percy has other ideas. What he doesn’t realise, however, is that his entire flock is about to migrate south for winter. If he doesn’t learn to fly, he risks being left behind—and worse, putting himself in mortal danger!
Along comes Shrimp, a fearless field mouse with boundless confidence, and suddenly Percy begins to feel braver. Together, the unlikely friends embark on an adventure that will test their courage, push their limits, and take them on a thrilling journey of self-belief. Will Percy find his way back home? Will he ever see Map and Pap again?
Music, Puppetry and Unforgettable Moments
With original music and songs by Harriette Ashcroft (Mrs H and the Singalong Band), enchanting puppetry, and a truly heartwarming story, Puffling Percy in Aberystwyth is guaranteed to captivate young audiences. Perfectly designed for children, the show lasts 60 minutes with no interval, making it just the right length to keep little ones engaged while delivering a powerful message about friendship and self-trust.
