The Mousehole Cat
by Antonia Barber
adapted by Alan M Kent
14th - 31st December 2023
Solmon Browne Memorial Hall, Mousehole
The cat is back for 2024! Our ninth consecutive year performing The Mousehole Cat in Cornwall.
Our magical puppet and live-action production is performed annually in the heart of Mousehole alongside the village’s famous Christmas light display.
Based on the well-known Cornish legend this uniquely heartwarming story of the friendship between a fearless fisherman and his devoted cat will warm the cockles of everyone's hearts... almost as much as an ‘efty portion of stargazy pie!
This magical show has an hour-long run time allowing families to soak up the atmosphere of Cornwall’s most famous Christmas light display and enjoy a live performance all in one evening.
We have flexible ticket prices again for 2024
To try and make our show as accessible as possible, we offer three ticket prices and a free ticket draw. Please book the ticket that reflects what you can afford right now. You won't be asked any questions and your ticket options won't be shared with anyone.
