Family-friendly creepy crawly critter puppet workshops

Drop in this May and get creative making creepy crawly critter puppets, inspired by spring.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join us at the Charterhouse for relaxed, family-friendly creepy crawly critter puppet workshops running throughout May. Led by the Flawed Mandrake Theatre, the sessions are suitable for all ages.

In the activity room, you’ll design and make your own puppets using simple materials.

These sessions are drop-in, so you can take part at your own pace from 10am to 3pm. They’re ideal for children and families looking for a creative activity.

Your handmade puppets can also be used in our Ugly Bug Ball on Wednesday 27 May, or you can simply enjoy the workshops on their own.
