We had a fantastic afternoon yesterday when we took the Mini Mumblers to see a play at Junction in Goole. This was our first experience of theatre at the venue and we can absolutely see why Junction is a firm family favourite in the area.
Venue and Facilities
If you haven’t already been to Junction – you must! Junction is Goole’s own arts venue offering the best entertainment on stage and on screen for the community of East Yorkshire. They provide a wealth of events for all ages and tastes – from shows for the very young through to period dramas, comedy, music and film. Expect to find small intimate shows that tour the country and larger international names that you might expect to find only in larger cities.
The Walkway cafe bar is open at the venue before all performances, serving meals and light refreshments. We ordered a children’s meal (great portions) and a ‘make-your-own’ panini which was delicious. They were both very good value for money and their coffee also got the STAG Mumbler HQ seal of approval! We 
received excellent customer service from the staff at the cafe who were completely friendly and informative – we highly recommend a visit here, even if you’re not seeing a show!
Christopher’s Caterpillars
Yesterday’s show was a delight. Topsy Turvy Theatre Company specialise in shows for ages 2-7 (and their big people too) and they blew our Mini Mumblers away with their energetic storytelling, handmade puppets, original music and stunning scenery. The show lasted an hour in total but time flew and our children were fully engaged throughout. The script had plenty of audience interaction and ‘wow’ moments – we will certainly be back as soon as Topsy Turvy Theatre return with their next show.
