Join Marty Macdonald On the Farm at Southport’s The Atkinson

The Atkinson Summer programme of family fun continues with Marty Macdonald’s Toy Machine featuring the voices of CBeebies’ Justin Fletcher and Nicole Davis as Pongo the Pig and Molly-Moo the Cow.

From the team who brought you the sell-out Marty MacDonald’s Farm, Honalee Media Ltd are back with their brand-new show Marty MacDonald’s Toy Machine on Saturday 20 August at 2.30pm.

Everyone at the farm is delighted with a new and special delivery that has just arrived – the toy machine that makes all the toys, for all of the children in the world!

But someone has been up to mischief and it shouldn’t be there at all.. It must be Crafty Crow. And now even worse, the machine has stopped working. They’ll have to fix it before the Toymaker comes back.

Come down to the farm with Marty, Sally the Scarecrow, Pongo the Pig, Molly-Moo the Cow and Sheena the Sheep for this fun, musical and interactive adventure to repair the toy machine, save the day and give the world back all of its toys!

Marty MacDonald’s Toy Machine is a fun, interactive, song-filled adventure, set on a colourful farmyard and featuring a host of lovable puppet characters and has a special cast meet & greet after the performance. Suitable for families and children aged 2-7 years.
