A magical show of puppetry, story-telling and music comes to the National Botanic Garden of Wales this Easter.

‘Tales from the Taiga’ is an enchanting fairytale featuring crazy dancing and giant creatures and can be seen at the Garden on Saturday and Sunday April 26 and 27.

Created and performed by Small World Theatre, Cardigan, ‘Tales from the Taiga’ is a modern adaptation of a Siberian fairy story, inspired by a traditional Nanai folk tale about a young man and his kindness.

The hero lives in an arctic world populated by amazing creatures such as a life-size Siberian tiger, a giant sturgeon and much more. By solving three seemingly impossible tasks, he cleverly wins the hand of the beautiful maiden.

The show uses shadow puppetry, giant creatures, storytelling, music and lighting to create a heart-warming story from the bone-chilling northern lands – a definite must see for children and families this Easter holiday.
