We had a brilliant time here cuddling, feeding, walking and bathing the Alpacas. Was a truly amazing experience set in a rural location away from the towns, so we felt that we had entered some kind of quirky alpaca world which we fully immersed ourselves in. The owner/tour guide was friendly and informative. We couldn't recommend this experience enough.

This was the second year that we chose to take our grandchildren to the panto at the Talisman Theatre. It’s not a huge auditorium and we think it’s all the better for that and very child friendly. While the performers may not be professional actors, they are are certainly better than most am-dram and are really enthusiastic. As with with all pantos, the (predictably dreadful) jokes are pitched at all levels and the audience responded accordingly. The sets, props and wardrobe are first class and scene change and continuity made at a pace that maintains attention. Last year we just took our 5 year old granddaughter and she was spellbound, despite thinking Widow Twanky looked like a mummy but sounded like a daddy! This year we also took our (nearly) 3 year old and very lively grandson and we were amazed that he too was enthralled by the spectacle and sat watching for almost the whole performance - quite an accolade for the performance! Meanwhile, our granddaughter (just turned 6) loved every minute and joined in whenever audience participation was expected and then, to our amazement, rushed forward to be on stage for the singalong despite saying before we arrived that she didn’t want to do it. She loved the Princess (especially her sparkling dress) and the “silly” cousin. All that said, grandma and granddad enjoyed it too ! So a good time was enjoyed by all at a theatre that is fantastically supported by an army of willing volunteers, priced sensibly for families and as such this pantao represents great value for money and great entertainment.
