“A huge thank you to David Thornton for bringing his amazing puppets to our youth club! 🎭✨
The young people had such a fantastic time—full of laughter, creativity, and plenty of memorable moments. Your energy and talent really made the session special, and it was wonderful to see everyone so engaged and inspired. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your skills with us. We hope to welcome you back again soon!” (Hayley from Wharncliffe Side Dragons Youth Club)
