Little Zola Tatton has to hand it to Emma Boor after being transfixed by her puppetry skills.

The five-year-old, from East Oxford, was among youngsters who attended the weekly puppetry workshop at the Pegasus Theatre, Magdalen Road, yesterday.

Her mum Rachel, 39, said Zola – pictured above with Ms Boor – and her two-year-old sister Poppy are regulars at the sessions, where children make and play with puppets. She said: “It is the highlight of our week. It is absolutely magical.”
