Turn bags, bottles, fabric scraps and paper tubes into amazing puppet characters in this fun, hands-on creative workshop for children aged 6 to 8!
Young makers will design and build their own puppets using recycled and recyclable materials, then bring them to life by acting out a much-loved fairy tale together and discover the magic of storytelling through play. Every child will create their own unique puppet character which they will be able to take home with them at the end of the experience.
Perfect for imaginative children who love crafting, performing and getting creative. All materials are provided — just bring imagination. Book early to join the puppet adventure!
Happening around our theatre from 9am - 3.15pm. Young people are required to bring a packed lunch.
Family and friends will be invited to watch the sharing at 3pm.

Who Summer Sessions are for
Both welcoming and inclusive, Summer Sessions are ideal for children of all levels – whether they’re new to drama or already a budding star. It’s a brilliant way to make new friends, learn fun theatre facts, and enjoy a memorable day of summer fun in a relaxed and supportive environment.
A perfect way for young people to try acting in Kirklees this summer in Huddersfield.
