Other Projects
For over ten years we have been creating interactive outdoor works and storytelling shows for a variety of different events and unique locations.
Here are some of our previous or in development projects!
Detritus & the Mermaid
Originally created as part of the National Maritime Museum's 'A world at sea' Easter programme. Detritus and the Mermaid was a storytelling show created for families visiting the museum during Easter break in 2022. An environmental message was deeply present within the story and gave young people and their families an opportunity to engage with the difficult conversation of how to help save our seas. Through interactive theatrical characters, live music and storytelling. Hotch Potch are further developing Detritus and the Mermaid for summer 2026 for outdoor and indoor audiences as part of their wider Save our Seas project .
Newquay Zombie Crawl
Animating the streets with stilt walking pirates and spooky living statues before and during the parade through the town- Newquay's Zombie Crawl is fast growing in footfall and becoming the highlight of Autumn events for many in Cornwall. Working in partnership with Cirk Hes to deliver Circus Workshops, Jolly Goodh- providing DIY costume making and banner workshops. Hotch Potch are present throughout the day their distinctly visual and highly engaging characters. A truly spirited community event from Newquay BID
Tiny Audio Tour
Originally funded by FEAST Cornwall during the pandemic. Tiny Audio Tour brought a long running audio storytelling tour to Heartlands world heritage site in Pool. Consisting of three installations at different locations with stories for each one available from our website. This project was a twist on our Tiny Tour with an intent to provide an accessible arts activity during the challenging lock down times.
​
With the unfortunate closing of Heartlands the indoor installations have now been removed but the fairy door trail at Diaspora Gardens can still be enjoyed along with its audio story Here
