WOULD you like to get hands-on with puppets? Now is your chance.

A day mainly geared up for those who might want to use puppets in church, school or street theatre is set to be held in Droitwich but anyone who would like to have a go is more than welcome to join in the fun.

Run by national puppeteers One Way UK Ministries, the event will include practical tips and techniques for puppet users no matter whether they are beginners or have more experience.

People will also be able to buy resources such as puppets and scripts.

Nina Owen, who is organising the event at St Nicholas Church in Ombersley Street West, said: “Some of us from the church in Droitwich went to similar event in Solihull last year.

“We had such a good day that we wanted to offer people in this locality a chance to try using puppets too.

“Now all we need is plenty of people to book in and have a go.”

The event will run from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, March 5, and costs £13 if booked more than 10 days in advance.

Places are allocated on a first come first served basis.
