The Enormous Turnip
Front Room Weston-Super-Mare, Weston-Super-Mare, BS23 1FF
One dark winter's night, young Rosie dreams of carving a lantern from a turnip, for a special Festival of Light in her village. Ages 3+

One dark winter’s night, young Rosie dreams of carving a lantern from a turnip, for a special Festival of Light in her village.
First she must plant a seed, and wait patiently for her turnip to grow. When it’s harvest time at last, Cow, Goat, Fox and Duck are keen to help Rosie pull up the enormous turnip, but the question is…. can they do it in time for the festival ?
Finally, after heaps of heaving, tons of tugging and generally getting rather out of breath, Rosie learns of a magical secret hidden deep below the earth that will help her to achieve her enormous turnip dream.
One Moment In Time presents their own version of this classic folk tale, with a magical twist. Featuring beautifully hand-crafted puppets and sets, storytelling, live music, songs and lots of joining in!
For everyone Aged 3+
“A heartwarming, magical journey full of kindness and justice. Totally absorbing and delightful.” – Audience member, Beverley Puppet Festival 2018

The Front Room is a fantastic addition to Weston’s cultural scene. The team brings quality work into Weston, which wouldn’t get to be seen otherwise, and provide a unique platform for local artists to perform.

The Front Room is fantastic. I have seen so many brilliant shows there in the short space since they opened. It is brilliant. It is exactly what Weston super Mare has so badly needed.

Great to have this venue in Weston super Mare! On the site of the old pizza express, this theatre has fully accessible facilities and refreshments available on site. We saw a brilliant family show put on by Kid Carpet and the Noisy Animals. Fantastic!
