Fuelling the imagination through the magic and wonder of puppetry
Live now: Champions for Children 2022!
Support our Puppets For All scheme and give the gift of puppetry and theatre to those that need it most. We feel passionately that theatre should be accessible to everyone. With your help, we want to welcome at least 1,200 children and their parents to experience live theatre and puppetry. One donation, twice the impact!

People behind the puppets
Over the past 60 years, a huge range of designers have brought their unique puppet designs to life on the Little Angel Theatre stage.
In this new online series, Little Angel’s very own Little Angel puppet will meet and interview several different designers to find out more about their experiences of puppetry design and why they love working in the field.
Bertie
Bertie… is our brand new first-ever digital series!
Bertie is an environmental entertainment and education series or children aged 3 to 8 on LAT’s YouTube Channel. Children will learn about different environmental issues and consider how they can take their own steps to help combat climate change.
All puppets and set have been designed and made using found and recycled materials – LAT is committed to environmental sustainability in our actions as well as in our content.

Creating theatre and interactive experiences for early years
The course will be delivered in person over 3 days and explore approaches to co-creating performative and playful experiences for very young children and their families.
The course includes practical exercises to explore ideas and develop approaches through materials-based work incorporating multidisciplinary approaches of puppetry, movement, light, sound and digital.
