Sooty and Elmer to bring Easter magic to the Customs House

The Customs House is hoping to tempt children away from their chocolate eggs this Easter with a number of family-friendly shows.

 Sooty’s Magic Show has already proved a hit on Sunday, April 7, with a limited number of tickets remaining for both the 11am and 2.30pm shows.

 Direct from their hit ITV series, Sooty, Sweep and Soo and TV’s Richard Cadell will amaze you with impossible tricks and side-splitting jokes.

 Featuring special guests, circus star Michael Jordan and the ultraviolet specialities of Fantasie de la Nuit, Sooty’s Magic Show is a treat for the whole family – and there’s a chance to meet Richard and Sooty after each performance.

 Panto favourite Arbuthnot is back with his friends in Arbuthnot and Pals’ Super Happy Silly Mega Fun Game Show on Wednesday, April 10, and Thursday, April 11, at noon and 3pm.

 Elmer the Patchwork Elephant Show then rolls into town on Easter Monday, April 22, at 12.30pm and 3pm, featuring a cast of 21 lovable puppets and heart-warming storyline based on David McKee’s best-selling books.

 The original Elmer story celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and like the book, the show is a celebration of individuality and the power of laughter.
