About this event
A larger than life puppet crafted from recycled materials, Hope will delight and inspire people of all ages, captivating everyone with her whimsical charm and playful spirit wherever she goes.
During Hope’s appearances, talented puppeteers invite audiences to join in on the fun. They carry with them paper leaves and pens, encouraging people to write down their hope for the future. These heartfelt messages are then added to the ‘Forest of Hope’ covering Hope’s back, creating a growing tapestry of dreams and aspirations from people at the Feel Good Family Picnic.
