Codman's Punch & Judy Llandudno

21/10/2024

In September 2018 a storm blew the show from its chains causing irreparable damage to the booth resulting in the need to build a new one but sadly also causing extensive damage to our original 1860 proscenium.

Very luckily, two years ago I was introduced to Mr Christopher Drewitt, not only is Chris a part time Punch & Judy Prof. but his full time job is Senior Carriage Restorer at the Royal Muses at Windsor Castle & Buckingham Palace.

Well if Chris is good enough for the then Queen and now King … 😁
Over the past 18 months Chris has painstakingly and enthusiastically restored our beloved proscenium taking every care to strip back, strengthen and restore it to probably the best it has ever been.

We can’t thank Chris enough for agreeing to take it on, his diligence, his hard work and his respect for this part of our family history. We are so happy!

Would love to put it back on the show but very apprehensive about putting it out in the salty seaside weather offering a target for the seagulls 💩. Rest assured we will find a way to make sure people can see it.

Another year comes to an end!
We appreciate & thank everyone who has come, enjoyed and supported the show this year.
Now for the work none of you see, restoring and making everything look good for next year.
See you Easter 2025 x

Not quite a lovely summer’s day but great responsive audience for the first show.

Mr Punch’s phone says heavy rain from 3pm so the 2pm shows is likely to be the last today. Hope the rain doesn’t arrive early 🤞

Great to see Llandudno so busy over this bank holiday weekend, fun to do the show to lovely responsive audiences.

We won’t be on next weekend so next shows will be on Saturday 18th May.

Please remember we are not funded and rely solely on your contributions, unfortunately the mobile reception in the resort is awful with so many people here, card transactions are almost impossible, please bring some cash, that’s the way to do it! 😁😁
