Mother Goose – Design A Dame Costume Competition

In the run up to Christmas 2025, The Courtyard in partnership with Herefordshire Libraries, ran a competition for children all over Herefordshire to design a pantomime Dame costume.

We had some fantastic entries from lots of library users and had so much fun picking our winner – Erin, age 5. She has won a family ticket to see Mother Goose this Christmas, congratulations Erin!
