Family puppetry production by Baby Panda about a hungry goat, part of the Elevate Festival at the Barnfield Theatre.
Baby Panda bring their new puppetry show, The Thing About Goats, to the Barnfield Theatre on Saturday 7 November. It's part of the Elevate Festival, the Exeter Northcott Theatre's annual celebration of South-West artists and their work, which runs at the Barnfield and brings together performers and audiences from across the region through shows, workshops and meet-ups.
This year's production is a new family show from the Devon-based puppetry company Baby Panda. It's set on Goat Mountain and follows a hungry goat who won't stop until he's eaten everything, ruining everyone's picnics along the way. It's a puppetry piece, so the goat is a puppet rather than a person in a costume, and the whole thing is built around that one character's appetite.
Because it's a family production, it's one of those things that works as well with younger kids as it does with adults—the kind of story that's easy to follow but still holds up if you're watching it with a group. If you've got little ones to keep busy on a Saturday morning, it's a good shout.

It runs from 10:00 am to 11:30 am, so it's a ninety-minute show that gets you in and out well before lunch. That puts it right in the morning slot, making it an easy one to fit around the rest of your weekend. The Barnfield Theatre is in Exeter, and the show is on Saturday 7 November.
