Teachers, school staff, PTA members, governors and parents across Ellesmere Port, Chester and the wider Cheshire area, this one’s for you.

Today is the LAST DAY to book Early-Bird tickets for MOONSMILE at Theatre Porto this Christmas. From 4–23 December, Goofus Theatre bring their beautiful, playful world to Ellesmere Port for a magical Christmas adventure told through puppetry, masks, music and movement.

Created for children aged 5+ and their grown-ups, Moonsmile is a brilliant opportunity to introduce young audiences to live theatre this Christmas.
