Farmer Jolly, a quaint 'old timer' whose animal marionettes delight and enthral all who see them - a great addition to all your events.

Children just love to pet Goldtop, the cow and feed Cheeky Billy, the cockerel and all the other animals - whilst adults enjoy the nuggets of 'countryside wisdom' and just marvel at the puppetry dexterity!
