Adults as well as children have been enthralled with the story of Rachel and Ruffle’s journey so far!
From the very beginning – the painting of Hovis, Rachel’s beloved Airedale, looking out into the garden – to the incredibly successful assembly performances, Rachel’s talks to WI/adult social groups and care homes follows the journey with magazine stories, humorous tales and the opportunity to see the fantastic props and puppets used in the Ruffle Storytelling – many of which have been made by Rachel.
To book an afternoon or evening talk, contact Rachel. A stock of Ruffle books is available to purchase at each talk.
Charge per talk – £35 (plus expenses)
