Since 2003, during the Easter holidays, Angus Arts has held a festival of puppets at the Stracathro Hall, Inchbare, just off the A90 on the B966 towards Edzell. Part of Scotland's acclaimed national Puppet Animation Festival, this bonanza of performances and workshops draws participants and performers from Britain and abroad. It is designed to cater for children of all ages, young people and adults so that there is always something for everyone in an exploration of this most exciting and extraordinary form of theatre.
"I always look forward to performing here. You make this a fantastic venue."
