For younger audiences aged two to seven, this reimagining of the classic coming-of-age tale with an acrobatic twist celebrates difference and finding your tribe

Returning to their home borough, the Revel Puck Circus are back in Waltham Forest this festive season in an all new location from Thursday 4th December to Sunday 4th January.

Situated in the heart of Walthamstow on the town square near Walthamstow Central station, The Pucks are bringing an all new venue, a pop-up tap-room and a heated covered garden from Signature Brewery, a festive market in partnership with Waltham Forest Council, and training and performance slots for the local community, plus two all new productions.

Following a smash hit run at the Edinburgh Fringe, The Ugly Duckling – a circus story is making a return to Walthamstow.

For younger audiences aged two to seven, this reimagining of the classic coming-of-age tale with an acrobatic twist celebrates difference and finding your tribe.

Revel Puck’s have committed to 10% of our tickets being sold at £2 to low-income households and communities in the borough.

This international cast of artists and dear friends from across the globe promise to deliver a “one-of-a-kind production” for the whole family including roller skaters from Ethiopia, aerialists from Argentina, a clown from Canada, and a juggler from Clapton.

This show takes place in the Revel Puck’s brand-new ‘mini big top,’ a structure described as an “intimate yet technically complex” tent that allows Revel Puck to bring world-class circus to dense urban areas, offering all the spectacle of a big top in a cosy, pop-up space.

Opportunities for other arts organisations, live performance collectives, musicians, or anyone else are being made available at cost price throughout the festival – contact [email protected] if you would like to perform at the festival
