Monster attraction
A GIANT extinct sea creature was on the seafront at Scarborough yesterday as organisers launched the Coastival 2014 festival.
The ammonite, which attracted the attention of Zoe Naylor and Martha Riley aged two, features in Orpheus the Mariner, a performance featuring giant puppets and including a record attempt for the largest puppet in the world.
Festival director Wendy Holroyd said: “We are really pleased to have one of the giant puppets from Orpheus at the programme launch as it gives people just a small taste of the size and scale of what we can expect when that performance kicks off Coastival in February. Then we have a fantastic line-up of music, theatre, films, comedy, dance, performance and visual arts to create a truly special few days in February.” picture: gerard binks.
The festival will boast a programme of 100 activities.
