A giant dragon puppet is to roam the streets of Eastleigh next month.

The 6-metre-long creation called Brimstone—the work of Autin Dance Theatre and Mr Cleaver's Monsters—will be operated by four skilled puppeteers.

Brimstone, described as creating a "roaming theatrical experience," will make an appearance as part of the Eastleigh Reimagined festival on July 6.

The event, which includes street theatre, live music, and family activities, will see Brimstone perform at 11am, 1pm, and 3.30pm.



Artistic director of Autin Dance Theatre, Johnny Autin, said: "We are thrilled to be bringing our sensational outdoor performance Brimstone to Eastleigh on July 6 as part of Eastleigh Reimagined.

"We can’t wait for Brimstone to meet hundreds of local residents.

"Thank you to the Eastleigh Reimagined organisers for making this happen and supporting us to deliver what promises to be an exciting and engaging cultural event for all."

Entry to the festival is free.
