Timed to complement Moonraking events during half-term week in neighbouring Slaithwaite, is this delightful outdoor theatre show, performed for free in the centre of the Marsden.
The show comes from French artists Quidams and Inko Nito and has been enjoyed in over
100 countries worldwide, including Australia, Japan and Singapore.
Herbert's Dream, features mysterious stilted figures dressed in white
who invite you to follow them in their quest for light. Watch in awe as they
weave in and out of the crowds, growing and transforming with every step gathering for the finale by the riverside.
The show is suitable for young children but please wrap up warm to enjoy the 45 minute performance.
Watch a sneak preview below, filmed when it was performed in Dorset last year. For more information about the artists please visit their website www.quidams.com.
