Floating Marionette Children's Workshop

This will be a float through the air string puppet - ideal for you to create a character of your choice.

This type of marionette has been used to make pirates, bats, ghosts and princesses ... so it is up to you. All materials are supplied ... just bring your ideas!

Time and your imagination are the only limits to what you create..

There is a wide range of materials to choose from as you create the puppet of your choice.

Children's workshops for children aged 5 and over.

Each session is themed to a particular type of puppet - from rod puppet to marionette, Bunraku, glove and many more besides. Further information about each workshop can be found on the venue website's What's On page.

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 our 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 the shop or you can bring your own.
