Get ready to dance and have a giggle with Bounce, Patch, Spike and Slither
Join Bounce, Patch, Spike and Slither, four larger-than-life animal characters, as they mix and mingle, dance and job, through Mansfield town centre. They might be a bit cheeky too, as they aim to cause gentle chaos.
With their deconstructed look, the loveable four could have stepped out of a computer game, or maybe children’s toys come to life for the day.
They’ll be accompanied by a bespoke soundtrack playing from an Ambox (alchemic music box) and various percussion instruments.
