12 Days of Christmas delights at the Civic

The 12 Days of Christmas display at Noosa Civic is delighting young and old, with its magical moving puppetry and striking art gallery.

This unique depiction of the traditional Christmas Carol is the creation of local resident and professional puppeteer David Poulton.

Based on the French mechanical theatre principals of movement, the mesmerising scene was created in David’s Noosa studios ‘Promotions in Motion’, by a dedicated team of artists, craftsmen, puppet makers, and animators with a passion for visual arts.

David has worked as a professional puppeteer since 1968, along with his wife Sally. David produced and directed over 20 theatrical productions including Blinky Bill, The Magic Pudding, Peter and the Wolf and Pinocchio, and has performed to over 8 million people.

The 12 Days of Christmas display has added further festive cheer to Noosa Civic this year, located close to the traditional Santa grotto, it is providing a welcome distraction for the little ones and a moment of mindfulness for Christmas shoppers.

The display will be on show through to 3 January. Noosa Civic’s extended Christmas trading hours begin Monday 16 December. Santa Photography, Charity Gift Wrapping and the Sunnykids Gift Appeal continue through to Christmas Eve.
