At the beginning of 2022 we were wondering how we would find the patience to wait until 2023 for the next Puppetry Festival. Tunbridge Wells deserves more we thought, so here we are in our ‘in-between’ year (we are after all a bi-annual festival) with a smaller-than-our-usual festival, puppetry celebration.
Full of joy, imagination and a few strings we are holding events in The Royal Victoria Place and Calverley Grounds, on the footprint of last year’s Museum of the Moon. In fact, over half of our 2022 puppets are larger than The Moon. Bumper-size fun for all the family is to be had with shows inside The Whale, walk-about puppets (beware one of these is grumpy…) and workshops in the park and the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre. All to keep us entertained before the full festival returns in 2023.
Events and workshops are completely free to attend, all we ask is you join our mailing list to be the first to hear about our future plans and you share your images of the day with us on social media.
We can’t wait to see you there.
