Past Outdoor Events

Five giant puppets walk side by side down the street. From left to right, a Rhino in a blue coat, a man with a black moustache and a burgundy top hat, a zebra in a tweed suit, an antelope in a corset, a monkey in a red jacket and yellow chequered trousers. Are all double the height of the people in the audience.

Presented by Dundu and Worldbeat
