Watch the new short film and take a peek behind the scenes of one of the UK's most magical creative spaces.
We're so excited to share this beautiful short film — a peek into the magical world behind Puppet Place where imagination, craftsmanship, and performance come together in brilliant ways.
Since 1984, Puppet Place has been a home for makers, performers, and artists — a creative space where puppetry, animation, and storytelling are not just preserved, but pushed into exciting new territories.
In this brand-new short documentary, you'll meet the team who bring puppets — and ideas — to life.
Join Zack as he explores the workshops, stages, and secret corners where artistry, craft, and imagination come to life.
Directed by Gabriel Cowan and filmed by Tyler Freeman Smith, this documentary brings you closer to the heart of Puppet Place — and the passionate people who make it all happen.
