The cat is back for 2024! Cousin Jack's ninth consecutive year performing The Mousehole Cat in Cornwall.
A magical puppet and live-action production is performed annually in the heart of Mousehole, alongside the village’s famous Christmas light display.
Based on the well-known Cornish legend this uniquely heartwarming story of the friendship between a fearless fisherman and his devoted cat will warm the cockles of everyone's hearts... almost as much as an ‘efty portion of stargazy pie!
This magical show has an hour-long run time allowing families to soak up the atmosphere of Cornwall’s most famous Christmas light display and enjoy a live performance all in one evening.

Children and babies in arms
As a company that creates work solely for children (and their families), we have found over the years the fairest way of ticketing is with a single ticket price per audience member - cheaper than a conventional adult price and slightly more than a conventional child price. This usually works out cheaper for families than charging higher adult prices.
Very young children who will be on an adult's lap throughout the performance do not need a ticket.
We hope to see you in Mousehole this year.
What do I need to know?
Mousehole is extremely busy at this time of year. You will need to allow plenty of extra time to park and walk to the venue.
There is no parking available at the Solomon Browne Memorial Hall.
A reliable bus service runs from Penzance to Mousehole. Click to be taken to the First Bus journey planner.
Due to the nature of the production, latecomers cannot be admitted.
We anticipate an approximate run time of 60 minutes.
The Solomon Browne Memorial Hall has full disabled access. To view the venues access information and access statement please click here. If you have any further access questions please feel free to email us at [email protected].
Our performers will help to seat you on our unreserved benches, prioritising children for the front row and aiming to accommodate groups who arrive 30 minutes early, though we can't guarantee group seating.
Our performances may be filmed or photographed and the material may be used by Cousin Jack's at any time for evaluation, promotion or other projects. Please be aware that it is the ticket buyer's responsibility to inform members of their party that this will be happening.
