Puppet Place - Open Doors

Puppet Place is the home for puppetry in the South West. Based in Bristol’s historic Harbourside, our building at Unit 18 is packed with creative businesses and artists. Established as a charity over 40 years ago to support puppetry practitioners in the region, we are now a thriving community network.

Together, we seek to innovate, research, and develop – to nurture new ideas and emerging talent – to further develop the artform of puppetry – and to engage with the public through our work.

Puppet Place embraces many forms of puppetry and related fields, such as animation, film, theatre, visual and interactive arts, creative technologies and robotics. From design and fabrication, to devising and manipulation, it takes skill, passion, and imagination to breathe life into a puppet.

Between 10:00 and 11:00 we'll be running an Accessible Hour, providing a quieter and less sensory stimulating environment, as well as keeping numbers within our building low.
