Children's Puppet Festival 2025

We’re thrilled to welcome you back to our award-winning Children’s Puppet Festival this August 2025! Now in its third year, the festival has grown into a summer favourite for young audiences since its launch in 2022, where it proudly received a special “one-off” Offie Award at the Off West End Awards.

This year, we’re excited to showcase inventive and imaginative puppetry from eight brilliant companies – including, for the first time, an international guest all the way from Australia! Alongside the performances, we’re offering a vibrant mix of adult workshops, family workshops, and our ever-popular Playcations.

Join us as we celebrate the magical art of puppetry in all its forms!
