Children's Workshop -Stick Puppets

Possibly one of the simplest yet most effective puppets used in the Theatre's repertoire - and featured in the current production of The Pied Piper.

You will have the opportunity to make a pair of puppets in this session - for example boy/girl, prince/princess, hero/villain.

Each session is themed to a particular type of puppet - from rod puppet to marionette, Bunraku, glove and many more besides.

After constructing the basic puppet form, your child will be free to create the puppet's character using the vast array of materials provided. The only restriction will be their imagination and at the end they will have a wonderful puppet to take home!

Please note: during these sessions the child will be working with their peers, supported by the workshop leaders. Accompanying adults may either remain in the foyer and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee or return to collect the child at the end of the workshop.

Workshops last for 1½ hours with a short break midway for a snack or a drink. These can be purchased from our shop or you can bring your own.

Suitable for children aged 5 and over.
