Puppetry, Storytelling

The Elves and the Shoemaker

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026

(Wed 5-Sun 16 Aug)

Ah, new shoes... Delightful on the feet. Soft dancing slippers, swarthy pirate boots, silver buckles and silken soles; no-one makes shoes like an elf.

This well-known and well-loved tale has been re-heeled and polished by Theatre of Widdershins in their own inimitable style. Beautifully crafted set and puppets, sublime music, a kaleidoscope of miniature shoes and a comic mouse make this show a magical must-see. Suitable for all ages and shoe sizes.

'A triumph of intimacy, imagination and enchantment' (CorrBlimey.com, for Snow White Rose Red Bear Brown)

Touch Tours are available by appointment for this show, please email Reception reception@scottishstorytellingcentre.com at least 24 hours in advance to book.
