Pinocchio – Abergavenny Castle

Childless toymaker Geppetto makes a wooden puppet – little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away, but instead of excitement only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers. He returns home hoping to be showered with sympathy and learns his tribulations are just beginning. Running away hasn’t worked; lying won’t work; he must become a real boy to achieve the belonging he craves. Collodi’s classic has been translated into no fewer than 260 languages since it was first published in 1883. Illyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show.

PLEASE NOTE - This is an outdoor event and will go ahead rain or shine.  

For your information, there will be no toilets located in the castle grounds during the performance.  The nearest toilets will be located at Castle Street Car Park.
