The Adventure of Pinocchio

Join us at the Spinning Yarn Storytelling Bar, with musical storytelling extraordinaire The Blue Fairy. Together with her band, ‘The Crickets’, she tells the story of Pinocchio. We meet Gepetto as he creates Pinocchio, and follow the naughty puppet with the growing nose as he learns to make sense of a confusing world. From finding fame and fortune to finding himself in the belly of a whale, will he side with the good Blue Fairy, or fall foul of the tricky Fox? The classic story of Pinocchio is brought to life in a hilarious and vibrant new version with original songs and music.
