Blighty One

"Blighty One! Blighty One! You're lucky Johnny... they're sending you home, son"
​
An injured young soldier is sent from the Front Line of World War One to Royal Victoria Military Hospital where, as an eight-year-old boy, he delivered newspapers to patients on the very same ward.
​
This specially commissioned puppetry performance links one of Hampshire's most recognisable landmarks- the Chapel at the centre of Royal Victoria Country Park- to the history behind this inspiring true story.
