Our explosive and energetic performances, great music and beautifully made puppets, guarantee a fun and memorable time, whenever and wherever you see us!

Puppetry in The North

We are currently touring our version of Alice In Wonderland, a wonderful hour long, two person puppetry show. This brilliant musical play has gained rave reviews from audiences at packed houses across the UK. It is available to book for theatres, festivals and community spaces wherever you are. See our Alice page in the Shows section for more information on the show itself, and how you can book it for your event.

Our fabulous Shadow Puppet Suitcase show is also on the road, taking to the streets of The UK with a walkabout extravaganza. We are also happy to provide theatre and puppetry workshops for schools, community groups etc.

As a flexible and well established theatre company in Yorkshire, we can provide many other theatrical events anywhere in the country. This can include carnival puppets, singalongs, street acts and more, for any event that you are planning!
