Make your own colourful puppet to take home.

Join us to create a marionette puppet, just like the ones from Rajasthan in India. These beautiful string puppets have been used for hundreds of years to tell stories, songs and folk tales. In this fun workshop, you’ll design and decorate your own puppet to bring to life. Great for children aged 5 and up, and their families. Come along to craft, play and learn something new together – everyone is welcome.
