The Terrible Infants - With 'Drama at Canford'

Meet Tumb, the boy who eats his mum, Thingummyboy, with a face even his mother forgets, Little Linena, the material girl and of course little Tilly and her terrible tail. Roald Dahl meets Tim Burton in this hugely theatrical, funny, sad, silly, junk-filled, puppetry-packed, dark, delicious, magical piece of performance. Based upon a series of twisted tales, this production blends puppetry, live music and story-telling into a highly sensory theatrical feast suitable for big kids and small grown-ups.

The Terrible Infants matinee is at 2.00 p.m on Tuesday 16th June, and there are two evening performances at 7.00 p.m. on Wednesday 17^th and Thursday 18^th June.

The show is suitable for ages 7- 8 upwards, and there is no charge for tickets. Parking is free in the sports centre next to the theatre.

To book your seats, please send an email to dramabookings@canford.com, detailing how many seats you need and for which performance. We will acknowledge your email and contact you again 7-10 days prior to the show with your seat numbers.

Planning your Visit

Welcome to St John's Church!

We are so delighted that you have found our website. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

We hope to have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.
