Rattlebox Theatre presents part of the famous Anglo-Saxon epic story Beowulf in this small but perfectly formed adaption. This show tells the tale of Beowulf struggles against the monster Grendel using beautifully made puppets, sets and props based on early Anglo-Saxon costume, art and artefacts. The 35-minute performance is accompanied with evocative live music played on an impressive array of medieval and traditional instruments, including harp, bombarde, border pipes, percussion and lyre. The performance retains the spirit of the original story, whilst making it accessible to both adults and children alike (ages 6 years and up). PLEASE NOTE: Due to the nature of the story there are a few scenes of graphic puppet violence and peril, so please do not bring children under 6. All other children must be accompanied by an adult during the performance. The performance is accompanied with the magical sounds of live music; played by Steve Tyler on an array of medieval and traditional instruments. There will be three-timed performances on the day. You will need to arrive at least 10 minutes before the performance starts. After the performance finishes, you are welcome to explore the site, which features a richly decorated reconstructed Roman dining-room and Anglo-Saxon longhall, as well as a waterline replica of a Viking ship and Iron Age roundhouse. Your ticket price includes free re-entry to the site during normal opening hours for the whole of 2024. After your visit, you can make use of the Marshes Hub Tea Stop and visit the Somerset Crafts gallery in the Avalon Marshes Centre. You can also journey onto Shapwick Heath National Nature Reserve and see replicas of its prehistoric wooden trackways. Accessibility The reconstructed buildings are accessible but feature some uneven gravel surfaces and narrow spaces that may make turning in larger electric wheelchairs difficult. A manual wheelchair is available on site for visitors to loan if there are issues.
