A short puppet show by Goofus Theatre in Jodrell Bank's Space Dome, telling the story of a girl who notices a new standing stone near a stone circle 3,000 years ago and sets out to discover what it means. Told with puppets, play and music, it suits young families. It is an add-on to admission, so you also need a valid Jodrell Bank annual ticket.
