Nottingham Puppet Festival

Nottingham Puppet Festival is a partnership between the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall and City Arts Nottingham. First launched in 2018, the 2024 festival is our third event.

Puppets are coming! Nottingham Puppet Festival will be taking over the city centre streets for a day of amazing puppet performances and parades.

You’ll see Mahogany Carnival Design’s spectacular costumes, watch Inspirate’s Ancient Giants in a battle between good and evil, enjoy beautiful storytelling at the Central Library, and get close up to By Our Hands’ handcrafted marionettes.

Our puppet trail from Sneinton Market, through the city centre, to Nottingham’s new Central Library will surprise and delight.

Outdoor Programme:

• Ancient Giants by Inspirate
• Tell Me a Story by HandMade Theatre
• Mahogany by Mahogany Carnival Design
• The Fisher and His Wife by Lempen
