About

Uniquely designed 140 seat puppet theatre at Upfront Gallery. Designed and built "in house" with the help of funding from the Rural Development Programme for England, and the Arts Council, plus public sponsorship.

Productions will delight audiences from ages 4 - 94 years of age. The shows are created in our own workshop and combine a mixture of puppet types with stunning scenic effects, costumes, original scripts and music.
