December 6th - A record number of lanterns made in one day!

At Criftins School a Fizzgigs swat team led by Joan with Mirjana, Caroline, Janice, Janet, Peter and Claire made over 100 lanterns with children from Criftins and Cockshutt schools. They had assistance from a group of Associate Teachers (students) and some of the school staff for the final sticking session. Everyone enjoyed it, especially the Fizzgigs team who were described as 'local celebrities'!

Ellesmere Winter Festival - November 2018

This year our Fizzjigs band led a wonderful lantern procession through the Ellesmere streets, headed by a giant caterpillar filled with brownies, next a huge dragonfly and spider in a glittering web, then came lots of children with lanterns they had made who were followed by our magical shining white unicorn Flash, pulling Santa in his open carriage on his windey way to his Market Hall Grotto.

Turbulent Times - October 2018

Our show tells a mummers tale of the change brought to sleepy North Shropshire when the Ellesmere Canal was built. Folksy music from the Fizzjiggs band, ceildh dancing, knockabout humour with a serious theme. Performed over 3 nights, with lots of audience participation and enjoyment, in Chirk, Whitchurch and Ellesmere.
