The Grand Theatre of Lemmings

Their performances, at schools, libraries, festivals and shows, encourage audience participation, which develop creative skills, build confidence, and fosters the personal development of those who take part.

We funded their puppetry theatre show ‘George the Bookworm’ which took place in libraries and schools in Essex. They also performed at festivals including Latitude Festival, Essex Book Festival, and Barnes Children’s Literature Festival.

‘George the Bookworm’ was designed to encourage reading and writing skills. Since the show,  75% of viewers said that they had been visiting the library more often.
