Assemble Fest will be taking over the Newland area for the second time this May bank and it looks like we're all in for a great weekend! The festival is all about celebrating the local businesses of Newland Avenue through theatre. As I live and work in the local area (TheHull Pie2 – which of course is Newland's finest takeaway), I am particularly excited for the show that is about Pies - The Cautionary Tale Of Horrid Ham Carver. The show takes place behind Pie in The Rosebery Gardens and promises to be a 'a contemporary twist on [the] gruesome Dickens classic'. Also across the weekend we'll get to see buskers, magicians, puppet shows and even get our faces painted! So why not pop along, grab a Pie and enjoy the show!
The Cautionary Tale of the Horrid Ham Carver takes place on Saturday 23 May 2015. 1:15pm*, 2:45pm, 4:15pm, 5:45pm, 7:15pm (*part of Happy Hour - first come, first served, pay what you feel)
TICKETS: £3.00 on the day, available from the box office inside the Community Church. PLEASE NOTE: Age suitability 12+
There are also a whole range of other shows from theatres: Bellow Theatre, PinUpRound, The Roaring Girls, Silent Uproar, and Open Umbrella in association with Apus Productions.
