An exhibition celebrating children’s TV show Button Moon will no longer go ahead next month.
The exhibition was due to make its world debut at Rosehill Theatre, near Whitehaven, from July 20.
The theatre released a statement this morning to say it would no longer be going ahead.
The statement said: “We are disappointed to announce that, due to circumstances beyond our control, the Button Moon and Beyond: Inside the World of Playboard Puppets exhibition will no longer be taking place at Rosehill this summer.
“We understand that this news may come as a disappointment to those who were looking forward to the exhibition, and we are grateful for the enthusiasm and support it has already received.”
Broadcast from 1980 to 1988, the 91-episode show follows the lives of Mr Spoon and his family on Junk Planet.
It is probably most famous for people of a certain age for its theme tune, written and performed by Dr Who actor Peter Davison and his then-wife Sandra Dickinson.
