The Herds, Leigh
Utterly amazing. What an afternoon out. I don't know what to call them - puppets maybe. But these cardboard and metal animals move in a very lifelike way - I've seen a real elephant, but only in a zoo - and this looked pretty realistic to me.
A brilliantly organised event by Wigan Council at Pennington Flash. Free to get in and free to park at Leigh Sports Village. I'm not sure how many people attended but it was a lot. Great to see so many families out and about having a lovely time. The posters that were dotted around, seemed to indicate that it was something to so with Manchester International Festival, too.
