Kirsty Pollard on Kasper’s Puppet Theatre and Brightona Charity Riders

Kasper’s Puppet Theatre returns to Brighton Marina (16-30 May) as part of Brighton Fringe. Join our hero Kasper on an exciting journey through the enchanted forest in this live action-packed magical fairytale. There’s sure to be lots of audience participation in store. Presented in the charming little theatre tent in residence in Marina Square, there’s also free balloon models and photo opportunities with Kasper and friends for you and your family after every show.

The puppet Kasper has a long history, similar to Punch & Judy shows, which originates in Germany in 1858. In 1920 Max Jacob created the Hohnsteiner style in which Kasper is a friendly character involved in traditional Bavarian fairytales.

Performed by puppeteer Benjamin Hasker, Kasper’s Puppet Theatre is believed to be the only Kasper Show in Britain, using original hand carved Hohnsteiner puppets and translating popular stories presented for today’s young audience.

On Sun 25 May Brightona Charity Riders return with the motorbike auto jumble at Brighton Marina. It’s set to be a fun-packed day showcasing the best in motorcycles, live music and trade stalls! The event starts at 8.30pm on Level 9 of the MSCP. There is a £3 admission donation encouraged with 100% of the proceeds going to the Sussex Heart Charity based in Brighton.

All money raised at this event will purchase essential medical equipment for the cardiac department at Brighton’s Royal Sussex County Hospital. Your support saves lives.

Music is a vital part of Brightona and many bands perform at each event, so be sure to bring your dancing shoes. You can also treat yourself or a loved one to something from one of the many stalls offering leather wear, bike memorabilia, plus much more to fill your shopping bags.
