Audiences are invited to celebrate everyone’s favourite frog as part of a joyful, family-friendly cinematic experience marking Kermit’s birthday in style.
Taking place on Saturday 9 May, The Puppet Folk Experience brings together live music, expert puppetry, and iconic film screenings for a unique event celebrating the legacy of Jim Henson and The Muppets, at The Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre in Newport.
The event begins with a lively pre-show performance from musician Andy and puppeteer Liam, who combine acoustic renditions of beloved songs from Muppet films and television with beautifully crafted puppet replicas.
Audiences can then enjoy two special anniversary screenings:
- 2:00pm – Muppets Treasure Island (U) 30th Anniversary Screening
- 6:30pm – Labyrinth (PG) 40th Anniversary Screening
Following each screening, guests will have the opportunity to take part in a special meet & greet with Kermit himself, complete with photo opportunities to round off the experience.
The Treasure Island event is priced at £10 for adults and £8 for children, offering an accessible and memorable outing for families, fans, and film lovers alike.
Blending live performance with beloved cinema, The Puppet Folk Experience promises an uplifting celebration of imagination, music, and timeless storytelling – perfect for audiences of all ages.
