THE WIZARD AND THE MECHANIC - SUNDAY 26TH JULY 2026
Hold onto your hats and tighten those boots — it’s time for an epic tale of magic, mayhem, and unlikely friendship!
Join Kronos, a flamboyant chaos wizard with more sparkle than sense, and Pan, a clever, by-the-bookmechanic who can fix anything… except maybe big-headed wizards. These two adventuring heroes now roam the land saving villages, solving mysteries, and telling the tallest tales — but it wasn’t always like this…
In The Wizard and the Mechanic, Kronos and Pan are here to tell the real story: how they first met, why they didn’t get along, and the wild adventure that forced them to work together and become best friends.
This is not just a show – it’s a quest, and we need you to help complete it! So grab your gear, gather your grown-ups, and get ready for a magical-mechanical adventure like no other…
What to expect
• Audience participation (you’ll wear masks and become part of the story!)
• Original, live music & singing
• Puppetry, clowning and glorious silliness
• Themes like facing your fears, sharing, and finding friendship in unexpected places.
Suitable for: age 5-10
Duration: 60 mins
